故事原文：
. Secret of the Sands (Written by Cynthia Rider / Illustrated by Alex Brychta)
. The children were playing on the computer. They were playing Chip's new game, Secret of the Sands.
. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. "Look at the key!" cried Biff. "It's time for an adventure."
. Floppy growled. He didn't want an adventure, but the magic was starting to work.
. The magic took the children into a desert. They saw a boy riding a camel across the hot sands.
. The boy rode up to them. "My name is Ali," he said. "You must come to my tent. You can't stay out in this hot sun."
. Ali helped the children climb onto the camels. Floppy sat with Kipper. "This camel is too bumpy for me," thought Floppy.
. Ali took the children to his tent. He gave them some cooler clothes. Then he showed them a map.
. "I'm going to the village on this map," said Ali. "Nobody lives there now, but long ago my father hid some treasure there. He called it the Secret of the Sands."
. "Secret of the Sands! That's the same name as my game," cried Chip. "Can we help you to find the treasure?"
. "Oh yes! I'd like you to help," said Ali. "Come on, let's go!" They rode through deep, rocky valleys and up steep, sandy hills.
. At last, they came to the village. There was sand everywhere. It had blown into the empty rooms and drifted over the walls.
. "There must have been a sandstorm," said Ali. "It all looks different from the map. I don't know where to look."
. Wilf pointed to am old tower. "That's the tower on the map," he said. "We must be very near the treasure. Let's look here."
. They looked into the shadowy rooms and poked the sand with sticks. "I'll help, too," thought Floppy, and he dug some deep holes.
. Suddenly, Floppy disappeared. "Help!" shouted Biff. "Floppy has fallen down a hole. We must rescue him."
. They climbed down into a hidden room. Wilma shone her torch around and something glittered in the light. It was a treasure chest!
. The chest was fall of glittering gold and sparkling jewels. "The Secret of the Sands!" said Ali. "How beautiful!"
. The children put the chest onto Ali's camel. Suddenly, they heard a noise. It grew louder and louder.
. Two men on a motorbike came speeding towards them. "They're desert robbers," cried Ali. "They're after the treasure!"
. The children raced away but the robbers came closer and closer. "They're going to catch us," cried Biff. "What can we do?"
. Suddenly, there was a loud crash! "Floppy has saved us!" shouted Kipper. "The robbers have fallen into one of his holes. They'll never catch us now."
. They got back safely, and Ali gave Floppy a golden camel. "Thank you for saving us," he said. The magic key began to glow. "It's time for us to go," said Biff.
. The magic took the children home. "What an adventure!" said Chip. "What glittering gold!" said Wilma. "What big bumpy camels!" thought Floppy.
