Read the story below and answer the questions that follow.
Anil and his sister Leela found an old map
in their grandfather's attic. The map
showed their neighborhood, but it looked
different from how they knew it. There
was a large X marked near the old mango
tree in the park.
"Do you think it's a treasure map?" asked Leela. "Maybe," said Anil.
"But Grandfather never mentioned any treasure."
They found a small wooden box with old pictures of their grandmother
and grandfather when they were young. There was also a letter that
read: "The real treasure is family memories. I hope you enjoyed the
adventure! Love, Grandfather."
