Around Meaning

It was a sunny Saturday morning when Max and his friends decided to go on a treasure hunt around the town. They had heard rumors that an old treasure chest had been hidden somewhere by a group of explorers decades ago, and now it was up to them to uncover its secrets. 'Okay, team,' Max said, holding up the map. 'The first clue says we need to head around the old mill.' The group set off, walking around the perimeter of the mill, looking for any hidden markers or signs. As they moved, Max noticed something shimmering in the grass near a tree. He ran around to investigate. 'Found something!' Max shouted, holding up an old key. 'I think this is the key to the next clue.' They continued moving around, following the map's cryptic instructions. They went around the town square, past the bakery, and through the alleyways where the sunlight barely touched the ground. Around each corner, they discovered more pieces to the puzzle. Later in the day, as they sat around a park bench to rest, Max checked his phone. 'It’s around 4 PM,' he said. 'We’re getting close, but we still don’t know where the final clue is.' After more searching, they finally arrived at an old oak tree by the river. 'This is it!' shouted his friend Julia. 'We’re around it! The treasure should be buried here somewhere.' With a few more shovels of dirt, they unearthed a small chest. Inside were gold coins and a message: 'The real treasure is the adventure you shared around this town.' Max smiled and looked around at his friends, feeling like they had all gained something much more valuable than gold.
