The Adventurer

The boy saw the small blue box tied with a golden bow, and his curiosity exploded. He waited for a moment when adults were not paying attention, quickly took it and ran to his secret place. There, he slowly untied the bow and opened the lid. The view of five shiny, diamond-shaped chocolates struck him. A light smell of wet forest mesmerized him. He lost track of time while his fingers gently rubbed the chocolates clockwise. He took the one in the middle and carefully took a bite, the ocean flooded his mouth, and a long lasting sweet dark chocolate flavor, all the jungle, filled his senses and his mind. It was like that every bite, and at the end the boy licked the melted chocolate left on his fingers. At that moment he knew, he learned, he understood what a treasure is.
