Description

Write an essay based on the following prompt -Imagine you were awakened one morning by a talking parrot. “I know where a treasure is buried,” it squawked. Using details, write a story about what happened.

Title:

One sunny morning, I was jolted awake by an unusual sound coming from outside my window. It was a series of squawks and chirps that I couldn’t quite place. Still in my pajamas, I rushed to the window, and to my astonishment, I saw a bright green parrot perched on the branch of an oak tree.

The parrot turned its head towards me and squawked once more, “I know where a treasure is buried!”

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. Could a parrot really be talking about hidden treasure? Intrigued, I hurried outside to get a closer look. The parrot looked at me with its beady eyes and then flew down to the ground, beckoning me to follow.

With a sense of adventure swelling inside me, I decided to heed Polly’s call. I followed the chatty parrot through the woods, keeping a careful eye on the colorful feathers leading the way. We ventured deeper into the forest than I had ever gone before, pushing through thickets and leaping over fallen logs.

Polly would occasionally squawk and chirp, as if giving me clues to the treasure’s location. It felt like a real-life treasure hunt straight out of a storybook. The journey was filled with excitement and suspense as we followed Polly’s trail.

Finally, we arrived at a clearing near an old oak tree. Polly landed on a branch and squawked loudly, drawing my attention to a spot on the ground. I knelt down and began to dig. After a few minutes of digging, my shovel hit something solid. With trembling hands, I uncovered an ancient wooden chest covered in moss and dirt.

The chest was heavy as I pried it open with anticipation. Inside, I found glittering jewels, golden coins, and precious artifacts. It was a treasure beyond my wildest dreams. I couldn’t believe my luck.

Polly squawked and flapped its wings excitedly, as if celebrating the discovery with me. It seemed that this parrot had been the guardian of this hidden treasure for centuries, waiting for the right person to share it with.

I knew that I couldn’t keep all this treasure to myself, so I decided to share it with my family and the community. We used the treasure to support local charities, build a new playground, and help those in need. The discovery brought our town together in a way we could have never imagined.

As for Polly, it decided to stay with us, becoming a beloved member of our family. It no longer squawked about treasure but instead shared stories of its adventures with a young explorer like me.

That morning, I learned that sometimes, the most incredible adventures and treasures can be found in the most unexpected places, guided by the wisdom of a talking parrot named Polly.
