Seems an interesting story because since the beginning of the story tells of a great treasure which is still a mystery ... for me looks good book but not very good reader.2)Apparently this is a guy looking for a great treasure ... that is still a mystery ... and that will generate several conflicts since the book is pirates may have many fights and other situations that my imagination pirates passed long ago.3)yeah, did not know they had ten4)*Sea-chest: Ark species usually used to store clothing// I keep toys in the sea-chest.*nails: Horny Plating end of his fingers.// my brother is cut nails.*roof: Top of a building, which covers and closes.// my dad repaired the roof.*tottering: Move one thing back and forth for lack of stability or equilibrium.// My grandfather is very cold and this tottering.*cliffs: [Seabed] forming steps.// Yesterday I went to see a cliff…. thanks
