Adventure on the Lion Island

All began one day in England, when a boat transporting golds ran near the haunted castle. (the ship transported Henri VIII's gold bars to an exhibition from France.) The castle was located on an island called the Lion Island. The divers had tried to find the boat, but in vain. The crew had disappeared. Nobody had dared to go nearby the haunted castle, because they say there were ghosts there.

One evening, Aku, Anne and Ville heard about this hapenning at the TV breaking news. They were astonished and wondered what had hapenned to the crew. Ville started the conversation about the castle. The event had certainly a common point with the haunted castle.

The father of Aku, Anne and Ville was a private detective and he had receaved as mission to clear out the mystere. He asked his children if they wanted to come with, because their mother has gone, for one year, to study English in France. The children were interested. They had to promise to make their duties without balking and to go to bed at time. The children said that was blackmail but they accepted.

The day of the departure, they prepared their luggages and snacks, because the trip was long for about 800 kilometers. Before leaving they asked their father for which reason he was to go there. Their father answered that he was obliged because of his work, and that it was a good place and that the wages were good too. The wages of mum were so bad that he was forced to work twice.

Lastly, they left. Ville, Anne and Aku met, at the moment for leaving, the neighboors' boys, who asked where they were going. The children answered that they were going on the Lion Island and the boys teased them saying: at this dreadful place! The trio got angred. They answered: You will make a odd face, when dad will solve all the business (however that will not hapen...)

The trip proceeded quickly, because dad was hurry. Rapidly they arrived at the hotel on the Lion island. The hotel keeper was of a rich family of the Island. The family had lived the castle for 300 years. The host told stories of the family with pleasure but the only survivor of the family never told if there really were ghost in the castle.

The next day, dad and some police officers began the investigation and they noticed that the beach was rocky. Aku, Ville and Anne noted that there were divers on the place where was the shipwreck and that there was no light on their boat. One of the divers shouted after the children:
  - What do you look at for?
The children did not answered. The man shouted:
  - Did cats eat your tongue? Answer!
When they heard that, the children ran towards their father and of the police officers. The man shouted:
  - Come back silly brats!
The children told the incident to their father and he went with the police officers to say two instructive words to the men. When the men saw them coming, they fled away quickly. The police officers found them a little weird. They noticed that their boat did not go very fast, so they followed them with a boat which was faster. When they caught up the boat, they saw that it was filled with gold bars. One of the police officer asked whether they had the authorization to plunge. They did not have any.

At the time of the interrogation, the men explained that the boat sunk. They explained that they were the only witnesses, then they had decided to take things in hand and to steal the golds. They also explained that they kept the crew as an hostage in the castle, so that they won't gave them up. They have discovered too that the robbers were of the family of the Lion Island and that the hotel keeker was one of their indict.
At the end, the robbers were put in prison. The crew was released. The phantom history was just meant to frighten the children.

The children and their father returned at home. Their mother known nothing about the trip. When they arrived at home, mother has arrived earlier than envisaged and began a serious discution with dad. But when mum knew the reward that they had received she gave up.

The neighbourhoods boys had always dreamed to get celebrity but their parents did not have a good enough work. Aku, Ville and Anne on the other hand became famous. The neighbourhoods boys got angry because of that. The boys bet; that they would win in the football tournament which will take place the following week. They were in the team against the trio. The neighbourhoods boys lost the bet 3 to 1.

The mystery of the axe

The mother of Aku, Anne and Ville, Anna-Liisa, had win a trip for four people for Hawaii. The father, of course, could not accompanied theim because the trip was for four and he had works to do. The day of the departure, mummy recalled to dad the domestic works. The children prepared the luggages - Those of mummy also, because she spoke all the times, pointing out the housework.
At the end, the bus arrived at the bus stop. They catched the bus to go to the airport.
Passport control was made and they waited for embarking on the plane. Then the hostess announced:
  - ASS 338 in destination of Hawaii is about to leave!
When they heard the advertisement, they prepared theimself to board at the plane. Anne and Ville get a seat on windows side, mummy had sat beside Anne and Aku to Ville.
Finally the plane took off.

The flight was passed very slowly, because the travel to Havaii takes several hours.
The plane has landed very well on the airport of Hawaii. The children and their mummy took up their luggages and went by taxi to the hotel. The receptionist asked which room they wished to, for the trip was a luxious one. Mummy asked for a room, which had the best view on the sea. The receptionist took the key and ask the carrier to bring the luggages to the room. From that room, they had a beautiful sight on sea and beach.

The night, when everyone slept, a boat was transporting a gold axe to the museum. During the voyage, the locals pirates stole the golden axe. At the morning, when the children awoke, they went to dive. They rented diving equipment and went to plunge in the middle of the sea, which was not allowed because of sharks. They did not know that. When they plunged, they had a nasty surprise. There was anothers divers which had harpoons. They saw the children and attacked them, then took them along in an underwater base.

Arrived at the base, they asked the divers what all that mean. The divers did not understand because they did not understood English. Fortunately for the children, their boss was English and he understood what they said. The boss said to the children:
  - We were obliged to take you over here, because you know too much and we could not harpoon you.
The children asked:
  - Why?
And the boss answered:
  - Because you are children!

The boss wanted to show what he had got the previous night and which had been put in a safety vault. While going towards the safety vault, Aku saw something special, which could put an end to the projects of the pirates!
When they arrived at the safety vault, the boss showed them the axe, but quickly the children went out and closed the door of the strong room. Aku invited the other children to follow him where he had seen the special thing. The others pirates did the work which had been ordered to them. When they finally arrived, they saw the autodestroying system. They activited it and they had 5 minutes to fly away. They went to the safety vault, opened it and they flee away rapidly. One of the men had noticed that the door was not any more close. They also flee away. The children have had time to leave and the pirates too. A few minute later, there had a big "splash" on the water. People saw it and were astonished by the event.

When the pirates went up to the surface, they had one of these reception; there were many polices boats on the water. They have been arrested. The axe immersed again at the bottom of the sea. The children got a heroic reception. They had a great reward. One week after they returned at home.
