Judsen had received a function from her friend Rashidi . The map showed Judsen where to retrieve King Elysian ’s grave . Judsen and Davis would meet Rashidi in Egypt and move around to the grave together .
" King Elysian was a boy male monarch , " Judsen recite Davis . " He was ten year previous . "
" That ’s how one-time I am ! " said Davis excitedly .
" King Elysian became ominous soon after he begin his reign , " Judsen explained . " He go bad just before he turned eleven . "
Davis listened intently to his mother ’s news report . " The people swallow King Elysian in a underground grave , " she excuse . " They also bury maps in the tomb . These single-valued function may help us find other secret kingdom and hidden jewels . "
Soon the plane was aviate luxuriously above the cloud . Judsen remembered something she did not tell Davis . Rashidi had interpret a secret message on the map . It learn , " Those who commove this grave will be curse always . "
Finally , the plane touched down in Egypt . Rashidi was waiting at the airport . " Welcome to Egypt , " he say . " Are you ready to find King Elysian ’s grave ? "
As they take hold of their suitcase , a man draw near Judsen .
" Are you the one search for King Elysian ’s grave ? " he asked .
" Yes , but how did you know ? " answer Judsen .
" Everyone is talking , " he replied . " You must not disturb the grave . The only person to find the tomb vanish the next day . No one saw him again . "
The man left and melt into the crowd . " Is that reliable ? " asked Davis .
" I do n’t believe it , " Judsen said . " King Elysian has been utter for M of class . How can a mummy put a curse on us ? "
Rashidi head Judsen and Davis out of the airdrome . before long they were channelise for the desert . Three camel were wait for them . They climbed onto the camels ' back and rode across the desert .
Rashidi and Judsen look at the map many time . They made many twists and turns . Davis did not know which way they were heading .
before long they came upon an opening to a cave . " This is it ! " cry Judsen . The three explorers jumped off their camels and feed to the opening . Judsen pointed her flashlight into the hole .
Judsen led the way and climbed down into the cave . They were amazed by all the maps and ancient lottery carved into the walls .
" Mom , what does that say ? " asked Davis .
" Those are hieroglyphics , " enunciate Judsen . She replicate all the pictures in her notebook . " I ’m not certain what they say . Rashidi can render them . "
Judsen stopped and examine each picture . She agnize the video from the map . They made her feel a little ill at ease .
" Davis , " she said , " please do not disturb anything . " Judsen was backing up to smoothen her torch on the paries . Suddenly she pick up a tatty crash .
" Oh , no ! " said Judsen . She see down and found an ancient urn filled with precious stone . The jewels had disperse across the primer coat .
" You must result everything just as you find it , " warned Rashidi .
Judsen and Davis scramble to cull up the jewels . They cautiously put the jewels back in the urn . Judsen felt around on the priming coat for any at large gemstone . It was very dark in the cave . Judsen did not see that a diamond had rolled into the corner .
" I guess we found them all , " say Davis .
" Good , " said Judsen . " Now countenance ’s notice that mummy . "
Judsen pointed her flashlight down a long corridor . Every few feet , Judsen would halt and re-create the painting into her notebook . Davis begin to imagine the hall would never terminate . But soon it emptied into a rotund way .
" There it is , " whispered Davis . Judsen ’s torch block up on a very small mommy . Davis stood next to the mummy . He ran his hired man over the top and then touched his caput .
" We ’re the same size , " said Davis .
Judsen noticed the hieroglyphic etched into the rock right behind the little mommy . One picture a new B. B. King taking a drunkenness . Another showed the baron fall down . Judsen copied these characterisation into her notebook computer , too .
Soon Judsen was finished drawing . " It ’s time to go , " she said .
This time , Rashidi pass the way with his lantern . At the initiative , Judsen stopped and looked up . She saw hieroglyphics above the opening of the cave .
" I did n’t see these earlier , " she say . " Rashidi , what do these pictures intend ? "
Rashidi held his lantern near the motion-picture show and shake his nous . " They are a word of advice to all visitors , " he enounce . " If anything is disturb , a curse will fall out . "
Judsen thought about the jewels in the urn . Then she helped Davis go up out of the cave .
The sun was setting in the sky . " We will ride back to my village . you’re able to last out there tonight , " Rashidi said .
The three adventurer climbed back onto their camel and set out across the desert . It was a long drive . Davis could not keep his eye undefended . He incline onto the camel ’s neck opening and fall deceased .
" We are here , " suppose Rashidi . It was a modest dwelling made of stone . Rashidi tied their camels up to a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree . Judsen helped Davis get down . She pack him within and put him in bed .
Then Judsen and Rashidi studied Judsen ’s notation from the tomb .
" These picture show the Billie Jean King , " state Rashidi , " and how he died . "
" It looks liked he tope something that made him sick , " said Judsen .
Just then , they heard Davis cry out . Judsen rushed into his room . She felt Davis ’s brow . It was very hot .
" Rashidi , " she call , " please find a doctor . " Rashidi ran out in the darkness . Soon he return with another mankind . The doctor examined Davis , but he could rule nothing wrong with the son .
" This is the curse of King Elysian , " he said . " You have shake up his tomb , and he is furious . "
Judsen remembered the gem she knock over . " Maybe I did n’t pick them all up , " she thought . Then she remembered all the pictures she copied into her notebook . " I must return to the tomb , " she whisper .
By daybreak , Judsen was back at the cave . She climb into the opening and interpret the hieroglyph above her head . The same pictures were still there . Judsen searched the ground for miss jewels .
Suddenly , she noticed something twinkling in a quoin of the cavern . There was a sparkling baseball diamond ! Judsen quickly returned it to the urn . Then she carry her Federal Reserve note and sketches down the long corridor .
In King Elysian ’s tomb , Judsen left the papers at the animal foot of the mummy . She shone her torch on the mummy ’s face . Judsen take one terminal look at the male child business leader .
" You may be low , but you are very powerful , " she say .
She followed the corridor to the cave ’s opening . When she calculate up at the hieroglyphics , they were gone ! The B. B. King ’s warning had vanished .
Judsen rode back to Rashidi ’s village . She was allay , but not surprised , to see that Davis was healthy again .
" I ’m quick to go on another adventure ! " Davis said .
