It was named
Treasure Island for a reason, everyone reasoned.
No one knew who had
named it, but many had dug for treasure, using whatever technology they had at
hand, and some interesting things had been uncovered. Interesting enough to
keep interest in the treasure high over the next several hundred years.
At last, men with
money and technology to burn descended on the island.
They deforested the
land for ease of access, and drained wetlands for the same reason.
By chance, one day,
they found a rock with words crudely chiseled into it.
“This beautiful
island is a treasure.”
