El tesoro y el regreso

The treasure and the return

Adapted from Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson.

El doctor había entregado el mapa a Silver, y los piratas siguieron sus indicaciones. Al llegar al lugar marcado, solo encontraron un agujero vacío. En realidad, Ben Gunn había descubierto el tesoro y lo había trasladado a una cueva. Los piratas se volvieron contra Silver. Entonces aparecieron Livesey y sus compañeros, que ayudaron a salvar a Jim.

Los vencedores llevaron el dinero a la Hispaniola y partieron. Durante una parada en un puerto, Silver desapareció con una parte. Jim y sus amigos continuaron hasta Inglaterra. De vuelta en casa, cada uno recibió su parte del tesoro. Sin embargo, Jim no olvidó las muertes ni el miedo. El sonido del mar y la voz del loro regresaban en sus sueños.

The doctor had given Silver the map, and the pirates followed its directions. When they reached the marked spot, they found only an empty hole. In fact, Ben Gunn had discovered the treasure and moved it to a cave. The pirates turned against Silver. Then Livesey and his companions appeared and helped save Jim.

The victors took the money to the Hispaniola and departed. During a stop at a port, Silver disappeared with some of it. Jim and his friends continued to England. Back home, each received a share of the treasure. However, Jim did not forget the deaths or the fear. The sound of the sea and the parrot’s voice returned in his dreams.
