Yesterday I was cleaning the house and I found a treasure that had been hidden for many years. It was in my parents' room at the bottom a drawer in the chest of drawers. It was a wooden box covered in dust and when I removed it, I saw that the box had an Indian inscription. So, I opened it and I found jewels and old photos of my parents. Also there was a lovely Indian talisman. They sure had a great time in their youth on that trip through India, and that's why they keep this treasure.
