Pl: Kwiaty wiśni wokół sierocińca w Krakowie kwitły, a zieleń trawy zachęcała do zabaw na świeżym powietrzu.
En: The cherry blossoms around the orphanage in Krakowie bloomed, and the green grass encouraged playing in the fresh air.

Pl: Pewnego dnia, gdy Kasia biegała po ogrodzie, zauważyła list schowany pod jednym z kamieni.

Pl: Była pewna, że list to wskazówka do ukrytego skarbu.

Pl: Nie tracąc czasu, pobiegła, by opowiedzieć o tym Markowi, swojemu najlepszemu przyjacielowi, który zawsze szukał przygód.
En: Wasting no time, she ran to tell Markowi, her best friend, who was always looking for adventures.

Pl: Marek wysłuchał historii Kasi z szerokim uśmiechem.

Pl: "Musimy to znaleźć!"
En: "We must find it!"

Pl: zawołał Marek.

Pl: Podejrzewali, że opiekunka, Zofia, zna więcej, niż chciała powiedzieć.

Pl: Zofia zawsze była miła, ale czasem wydawała się tajemnicza.
En: Zofia was always kind, but sometimes she seemed mysterious.

Pl: Dzieci inne z sierocińca zaczęły coś podejrzewać, kiedy widziały Kasię i Marka szeptających o skarbie.
En: The other children in the orphanage began to suspect something when they saw Kasia and Marek whispering about the treasure.

Pl: Niektórzy chcieli się przyłączyć, ale Kasia wiedziała, że więcej ludzi to więcej chaosu.
En: Some wanted to join in, but Kasia knew that more people meant more chaos.

Pl: Postanowiła zaufać tylko Markowi.
En: She decided to trust only Marek.

Pl: Razem przeszukiwali każdy kąt sierocińca.
En: Together they searched every corner of the orphanage.

Pl: Kiedy nadeszła noc, nie poddawali się, chociaż byli już bardzo zmęczeni.

Pl: W końcu dotarli do piwnicy, gdzie przypadkiem odkryli ukryty przejście za starymi deskami.

Pl: W świetle latarki zobaczyli pudełko z pożółkłymi listami i starymi fotografiami.
