One day, a boy was sitting by the edge of a lake, reading the newspaper. He was fascinated by the story he was reading, which explained how a man had caught a fish, and inside the fish was the biggest pearl in the world. The man was now rich, and the whole town was celebrating.

The child kept reading the story, and he wondered where all these mysterious towns were. Nothing ever happened in his town, and news there were always boring and predictable. As he was thinking of this, he fell asleep. He dreamt that he was an explorer, and he travelled to far away lands to discover treasures. He also dreamt that he found a fountain in a garden, and that the fountain was hiding a secret. When he woke up, it was dark, and he went home.

The next morning, the boy could not stop thinking about his dream. Therefore, he went to the library and borrowed a map of the city. He went back to the lake to look at the map, and he marked every square that had a fountain in it. He was determined to find the treasure. Once the map had been throughly examined, the boy began to look at every fountain in town, hoping to find the one he had seen in his dream. However, the morning passed and he was finding nothing.

However, as he began to enter his last square, he saw it. The fountain was there, and he rushed to the edge. As he looked down, he was able to see not one, but a whole string of pearls. He could not believe his luck! He put his hand in and retrieved the peals. However, just at that moment, a girl came running towards him. She could not stop crying and thanking him for retrieving her pearls. Although he was sad to see he could not keep the treasure, he was happy to give them back. The girl was so thankful that she asked him to have an ice cream with her. He accepted. Little did he know that the real treasure he found that day was a friend for life.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
