Three ancient books to search for one treasure. My eyes lit up when I translated the second book. That was the one, surely. But I kept my cool around the others. Let them try to figure it out.
While they bumped heads inspecting the first book, I cleverly slid the other near me and, when I thought they were distracted, opened it. There it was. The illustration. The map of the pyramid pointing to its treasure.
Committing it to memory I unscrewed a pen I brought with me and poured out kerosene. Lighting a match, I left amid the chaos.
