It was a hot summer day in Mali, 241 BC. Tijjani, Oliver, Zainab, and Adeola were walking through the desert, looking for adventure. As they walked, they noticed something strange in the sand. It was an ancient map!
The four friends were amazed. They had never seen anything like it before. They knew that this map must be very old, and it must have been hidden in the sand for a very long time.
Tijjani, Oliver, Zainab, and Adeola carefully brushed away the sand and examined the map. It was made of old, yellowed paper and was covered in strange symbols and writing. They couldn't read the writing, but they could tell that it was very old.
The map showed a large area of land with a river running through it. There were also some strange symbols and drawings of animals. The four friends were intrigued. They knew that this map must lead to something special.
They decided to keep the map and follow it. They had no idea what they would find, but they were excited to find out. Little did they know that this map would lead them on a grand adventure!
