      Have you ever been a kid looking for adventure?Wellthis kid has just started and it all started in school oneday. A kid named Jaylo was a boy looking foradventure.He was in school,and was learning aboutMesopotamia and the Middle East and he heard histeacher start talking about the Hanging Gardens ofBabylon.She started talking about how no one has foundit and things.He ask his teacher, “Where is the hanging gardens ofbabylon?”

The teacher said, “It is in Iraq and no one has found ityet.”He told his friends that he was going to find the HangingGardens of Babylon!!!But all of his friends laughed athim.He said, “I will show you when I get back that I have foundit.”His best friend Willy believed him and thought that hewould find it.When he got home that night he told hisgrandpa and asked if they could go on that amazingjourney.       His grandpa said, “Do you even know where to lookfor this Hanging Gardens of Babylon?”     Jaylo said, “Yes in Babylon which is in Iraq.”      His grandpa said, “Ok i guess we could go.”

Jaylo jumped up into the air and shouted, “Yes!!!”The next morning his grandpa went to the airport andbought their tickets.They were on their way to Iraq. They took the plane and sat next to this person thatpassed gas the whole way there.Jaylo felt like he hadbeen hit with an atomic stink bomb.The only thing Jaylocould hear or smell was the stench coming from a mansbutt.He was glad when they landed from the plane.Jayloran so fast he was a blur.They were finally in Iraq andcould not wait to start looking for the Hanging Gardens ofBabylon.Well Jaylo could not wait,but guess who could.

Grandpa said,“hold your hoofs we will go out lookingtomorrow .”        Jaylo said,“Come on let's start now.”       “Tomorrow”,Grandpa said.         “Ok.”,said Jaylo        They rented a hotel and stayed there for the night toget some rest.Grandpa woke up and Jaylo had alreadymade breakfast.          Grandpa said,“What you making over there?”        Jaylo said,“Eggs,pancakes,and bacon.”        Grandpa said, “That sounds good.”         After they ate breakfast they went out to get a tourguide.

The tour guide’s name was Bennie.Bennie was going toshow them the whole place.        Jaylo said, “We can’t take him with us what if tellssomeone that we found it and they’ll take all the credit.”        Grandpa said, “You walk ahead of us so when yousee it I can tell him we do not need him anymore.”        Jaylo said,“Then we will be rich,famous,and I will bepopular at school.”Jaylo was walking ahead and thought that they werenever going to find it,till he saw a huge bump in the sand.

He could tell that it was there.He rushed to grandpa andsaid, “Time to ditch this tour guide gramps.”Grandpa said, “ok,but never call me gramps again.”       “Ok”, said Jaylo.       Grandpa told the tour guide that we did not need himanymore.Then me and grandpa went to see if it wasthere.We both started digging like mad dogs.It almosttook us an year,but we finally finished digging.

Grandpa said, “We found it we found it!!!” Jaylo said “Yesthere it is!!!” “She looks just like a beauty doesn’t she?”Jaylo said .We told the museum that we had found it,andthey said they were on there way.They were here theyhad cameras and everything.

         Jaylo said, “I can’t believe that we are on tv.”          “That will show all my friends that I found it.”They got back home and collected their reward and werevery excited.Jaylo was now popular and the teacher insome ways he was the teacher,and he wrote his ownstory but that another stroy.
