Interactive Story: The Lost Treasure Hunt

Storytelling is one of the most ancient arts in the world. We have been telling stories since we lived in the caves. We would gather around the fire at night to share our experiences and stories. We still enjoy this pastime but with our new technologies and gadgets. The stories used to be simple and followed the 3-Act structure, i.e., beginning, middle, and end. However, people have tried other narrative structures.

I used to read children's magazines and in one of the magazines I found this amazing structure that you can call interactive story-telling. The story was divided into snippets and give two options to select another snippet. Different snippets would lead to different narratives and ultimately different endings. As I reminisce about that story, I created a similar here. It is a simple story but has different endings based on the snippet you chose.

This gives another powerful lesson that just like in this interactive story, in real life our choices ultimately lead to different endings. If we change our choices we can change the ending! So here it goes:
