A long time ago, in a dark and scary place called Black Hollow, there were three thieves: Flint, Marlow, and Brigg. Flint was their leader. He had a big scar on his face. Marlow could open any lock, and Brigg was very strong.
One night, they found an old map in a sailor’s bag. The map showed the way to a pirate’s treasure. The pirate’s name was Captain Sable. People said the treasure was cursed, but the thieves didn’t care.
The thieves followed the map to a cave by the sea. It was hidden behind big plants and rocks. The cave was cold and quiet. Strange sounds came from the walls, like whispers.
Inside the cave, they found a big wooden chest. It had old iron locks. Marlow used his tools to open it. When the chest opened, they saw gold coins, shiny jewels, and beautiful necklaces.
“We are rich!” Flint said, smiling.
But then, the shadows in the cave moved. A ghost appeared. It was Captain Sable! His eyes were bright and scary.
“You want my treasure?” the ghost said. “If you take it, bad things will happen.”
Flint didn’t listen. He picked up some gold coins. Suddenly, he screamed. His hand turned black, and he dropped the coins.
The ghost laughed. “Leave now, or you will all suffer!”
Marlow and Brigg were very scared. They ran out of the cave as fast as they could. Flint stayed behind, crying in pain.
No one ever saw Flint again. The treasure stayed in the cave, waiting for the next person brave—or foolish—enough to take it.
