Polly and Fatima walk. They walk in Marrakech. Fatima has a map. The map has a symbol. The symbol is strange. Polly looks at it. Polly is curious. Fatima is curious too. Fatima asks, "What is this?" Polly says, "Let's follow it." They walk and walk. The streets are small. The streets are quiet. They see a door. The door is old. The door is open. Polly is excited. Fatima is nervous. Polly says, "Let's go in." Fatima opens the door. They see a garden. The garden is pretty. There is a fountain. The fountain is big. Polly and Fatima look. They see words. The words are old. Polly reads the words. The words tell a story. The story is about a place. Polly and Fatima are happy. They find a secret. They love the adventure.
That's the story.
