Jim Hawkins had a thirst for adventure. One day, a blind man named Black Dog came to stay at the inn. Black Dog was an unkind and secretive man, and Jim couldn't have imagined the adventure that lay ahead.
One morning, Black Dog was found dead in his room. Curious, Jim and his mother decided to search through his belongings. Inside a trunk, they discovered an old map, which appeared to be a treasure map. Thrilled by the discovery, Jim showed the map to the village Squire.
"Sir, look at what we found in the blind man's trunk! It seems to be a map to hidden treasure," Jim exclaimed, presenting the map to the Squire. The Squire, just as excited, agreed, "Indeed it does! We must set sail immediately to find this treasure."
The next day, Jim and the Squire boarded a ship, eager to find the treasure on a mysterious island. During the voyage, Jim befriended the ship's cook, a one-legged man named Long John Silver, who always had a parrot on his shoulder. Silver was charming and kept Jim entertained with his humorous stories.
One stormy night, feeling hungry, Jim went to the ship's apple barrel. As he was about to grab an apple, he heard voices. Intrigued and suspicious, Jim hid inside the barrel. To his shock, he overheard Long John Silver plotting with some crew members. "Tomorrow, when we reach Treasure Island, we'll take the passengers hostage and steal the map. Then we'll dig up the treasure ourselves," Silver whispered.
Terrified, Jim waited until it was safe, then rushed to warn the Squire about Silver's plan. The next morning, as the island came into view, Jim leapt off the ship and swam to shore. There, he encountered a ragged man named Ben Gunn, who revealed he'd been stranded on the island for twenty years. Ben guessed they were after the treasure and warned Jim about the danger posed by Silver and his men.
Ben Gunn, knowing the island well, set traps for Silver and his crew. When the pirates came ashore, they were caught in a cleverly hidden pit trap. With the pirates captured, Jim and Ben Gunn unearthed the treasure and made their way back to the ship. The trio — Jim, Ben, and the Squire — sailed home, leaving Long John Silver and his men stranded on the island forever.
Moral -
Dear Kids!!
"Caution and Courage! This story teaches the importance of caution and courage in the face of danger. Jim's bravery in warning the Squire and working with Ben Gunn to protect themselves shows that even in risky situations, quick thinking and teamwork can lead to success. It also underscores the value of not being deceived by appearances, as the seemingly friendly Long John Silver turns out to be a dangerous pirate!!"
