PLYMOUTH COLONY
The most important thing now is to make sure we have enough to eat over the next year. If we plant seeds now, wetaskll be able to harvest the crops and wetaskll be fine in the coming winter. Wetaskre learning a lot from Squanto, who is helping us with everything. We all understand how many mistakes wetaskd been making before we met him and how important his friendship is.

1 May
PLYMOUTH COLONY
Squanto and I are becoming good friends. When he has time, he sits down with his long pipe and tells me about his adventures.
20 June
PLYMOUTH COLONY
Squanto continues to surprise me. Today he spotted the ring that I always wear on my chest. It is our old family ring, which has been in our clan since ancient times. "I have always known that you were not an ordinary man," he exclaimed. "You come from a family of great wizards. Itaskve been expecting you for a long time." When I asked him to explain what he meant, he just laughed. But Squanto is right. Everything he said about me is true, but how on earth did he find out?
22 June
PLYMOUTH COLONY
When I came to the New World, I had hoped that here Itaskd be able to have a new start, that I could forget my past and enjoy a simple life like everybody else. How naive I was! Today everything has changed. Squanto told me his story and shared his secret with me. This secret will be with me forever, and there isntaskt a single soul in the world I can tell. At the moment I cantaskt say anything even to you, my unknown friend. Not nowvnot before I decide what to do.
23 June
PLYMOUTH COLONY
I still haventaskt decided, but I think I should write down Squantotasks story. If you, my friend, ever read this diary, I want you to understand me, so Itaskll write as much as I can.
Squantotasks Story
"I have seen a lot in my life. Ever since I was a child, there have been white men around. They came from faraway lands on big ships. They always fascinated me because they were so different from us. I made friends with some of the sailors and acted as their guide and translator. Our chief didntaskt like what I did, he didntaskt trust white men, but I was sure that there was no reason for us to fight them. One of my new friends, Captain John Smith, was a good, honest man. We shared the same ideas, and when he went back to England, he took me with him. We both thought it would be very important for the English to see what Indians were like so that our nations could find out more about each other. After a short stay in England, I decided to go back to my land. I went on the ship of another English captain, who had promised to get me home safely. But instead of keeping his word, he sold me into slavery, to the Spanish. Luckily, I was bought by monks. They taught me to read and write. Sometimes the monks told me stories about great people and their great deeds."
"Take, for example, Christopher Columbus," they used to say. "This great man crossed the ocean in search of a new way to India and in 1492 discovered a new continent; the continent where you come from. Isntaskt it wonderful? He brought back a lot of gold and made Spain richer and more powerful."
"My teachers were kind, but I didntaskt agree with them. In fact, the more I learned about white mentasks civilization, the less I liked it. In my opinion, it was greed and nothing more that led Columbus across the ocean. When I read some books, I was horrified: after Columbus thousands of greedy Spanish went to my continent and destroyed the ancient civilizations of the Incas, the Aztecs and the Maya. The Spanish were looking for gold and this cost the lives of thousands of Indians. After some years in Spain, I finally had a chance to go home. When I got there, to my horror, I found out that all my tribe had died out. Diseases brought by white men had killed them. I was the only one left.
Then I remembered about the greatest treasure of my tribe. The treasure was sacred to us all: our tribe had kept it for thousands of years. It used to be hidden in a cave deep in the forest, but this place was not a big secret. I went to the forest and found the treasure in its usual place. Then I sat down and started to think. I didntaskt know what to do next.
I couldntaskt leave the treasure there and I didntaskt dare destroy it. After all, I had found out about the white men, I understood that if they found the treasure it would be a catastrophe. Not only the Indians, but the continent and all its mountains, rivers, forests and even the animals would be in danger. I decided to stay near the graves of my tribe and guard the treasure myself. When your ships came, I watched you for a long time. I know that the Pilgrims are not bad people, they are better than a lot of other white men. I felt sorry for them and decided to help. When I met you, Robin, my first feeling was that you were different from the other Pilgrims. I trusted you more than anybody else, I wanted to talk to you, and then... I saw your ring. I recognized it. The same ring is engraved on the stone wall, near where the treasure lies. You are the man I have been expecting all these years. Forgive me for this, but now the destiny of the treasure and the whole New World is in your hands."
I found Squantotasks story very interesting, but it didntaskt worry me. I thought he was exaggerating the importance of his treasure. So I let him take me to the sacred cave in the forest where he showed me the treasure. At first, I felt surprised when I saw the very ordinary thing that was hidden in the stone wall, but very soon even without Squantotasks help I understood what it really was. The danger of this ordinary-looking thing was so big that even in my secret diary I dontaskt dare write another word to describe it. Then I thought what might happen if somebody found it. At that moment I felt sorry that I had gone to the New World at all. Suddenly England with all its dangers seemed a cosy, attractive place, but it was too late. Squanto had told me the truth: the future of the New World lay in my hands.
1 September
PLYMOUTH COLONY
I ttasks been more than a month since I became the guard for the treasure.
All this time Squanto and I have been thinking about a good hiding place for it. I think we should simply destroy it, as it will always be a danger, but Squanto doesntaskt agree. He thinks that in the distant future people will become better and wiser. They will be able to use the treasure properly, and it will bring them much good.

PLYMOUTH COLONY
Finally, we found the answer. The idea came unexpectedly. Squanto and I were talking about the treasure as usual when Squanto said, "Ittasks a bit strange, Robin. You and I both know that you come from a family of great wizards, but you cantaskt do anything useful." "Like what?" I asked. "Like healing people, making things invisible, moving mountains, predicting the future...," Squanto went on, but I wasntaskt listening any more. I already knew what to do. "Youtaskre quite right," I sighed. "Itaskm not a very useful wizard.
I cantaskt even predict the future, but... I can get there." "How can you do that?" he whispered. "It doesntaskt matter how, but I can," I said. "That would be ideal for us. Itaskll go to some distant future and hide the treasure there so nobody before that time will have a chance to find it." And thattasks exactly what you wanted, isntaskt it? "Yes," Squanto smiled, "ittasks very good."
10 October
PLYMOUTH COLONY
My dear friend,
Ittasks been a long time since I wrote to you last. Itaskve been on different expeditions, hunted in the woods and visited some Indian villages. Life in Plymouth settlement is getting better. The people worked hard and got a great harvest this year. Now they are sure that this winter every family will have enough food. Itaskm getting ready for my journey to the future. I have done it once before and I had hoped I would never have to do it again. Itaskll probably have to stay in the future forever, but I dontaskt see what else I can do.
II October
PLYMOUTH COLONY
Governor Bradford had a great idea. He said that because the New World had been so kind to us and the harvest is so good we should celebrate and give thanks to God and to the Indians who have been helping us. So we are getting ready for the day they are calling Thanksgiving, and Squanto has been sent to invite Massasoit and his tribe.
16 October 1621
PLYMOUTH COLONY
The celebrations went on for three days. Our women cooked corn and turkeys, the huge birds that live here. The Indians brought some of their own food, and we all had a very good time. Itaskm feeling awfully sad because today Itaskm leaving the Pilgrims. I hope Itaskll be able to come back and see them again, but Itaskm trying not to hope for too much.
31 December 1622
Itaskm back and Itaskm alive. I had to spend all this time in the future and the things that I saw there didntaskt make me happy. But I gave my word to Squanto and I had to keep my promise: I left the treasure in the distant future. And now as I promised Itaskll tell you, my friend, how to find it. Itaskll give you some clues which nobody in the next three hundred and fifty years will be able to understand. However, for people in the future after that these clues will be clear and easy. Itaskm sure, my friend, you will make no mistake about this unique place, which in your time will become famous across the whole world.
So follow me and walk the road of stars, then come to the hills that shine with gold. Here is a map to help you if you have any trouble.
Then find the place where the first, the third, the sixteenth and the twenty-sixth meet. Look up and youtaskll see a huge white horse. Under this horse there is a deep cave. Follow the pictures on the cave wall and theytaskll lead you to the treasure.
When you find it, it will be for you to decide what youtaskll do with it. I cantaskt give you any advice. I can only pray that the treasure is found a long way into the future and that when it happens, no harm will be done.
And now Itaskll have to say good luck and goodbye. My journey is over. Itaskll go back to my friends, the Pilgrims, and help them as much as I can. Much love and always your friend,
Robin MacWizard
