--Story Below---
Valentina was a curious girl who lived in São Paulo Brazil near the ocean. One day, she heard about a treasure that was hidden on an island. She became very excited and decided to search for it.
Valentina asked for a boat to take her to the island, but the captain warned her that if she touched the treasure, she would never be able to come back to the mainland.
Valentina didn't listen to the captain's warning and went ahead with her plan. After all, she needed the money for her family. Surprisingly she found the treasure very quickly and filled her bag with gold coins and jewels.
But when she tried to return, she became lost in the forest. Forever unable to find a way out, Valentina was stuck on the island and couldn't leave. She regretted not listening to the captain's warning.
Valentina spent years on the island, and she learned to live off the land. She became one with nature and discovered things about herself that she never knew before. She realized that she didn't need the material possessions that she once valued.
Valentina was happy on the island, and she felt at peace with herself. She never left the island, but she was content with her life and the experiences that she had on it.
