[Life Story]-lie about 20 coins

There is a special collection in the exhibition hall of the History Department of Cambridge University. It is a common coin and 18 stones that can be seen everywhere. This is the archaeological result that five history students brought back from the jungle in South America in 1963.

This year, Dr James, a professor at the history department at the University of Cambridge, and five of his students formed an archaeological team to visit the original forests of South America for Indian relics. Unfortunately, they lost their way in the world's largest jungle. They haven't been in touch with the outside world for three days, and there are almost no fresh water or food left, five young people are desperate, and they lose confidence in being able to live out of the jungle.

On the morning of the fourth day, Professor James, who walked in front of the team, suddenly shouted with excitement: "We are saved. "The five young people stepped forward and placed their professors in the middle. They looked at the professor's solemn left hand. At this moment, the professor's hand suddenly spread out, and his palm was a rusty coin.

But what does a coin mean? Looking at a bit of curiosity in the frustrated eyes of the five young people, James began to talk about the past: Ten years ago, he came to the jungle with another archaeological team, when everyone entered the jungle, they put a coin on a dead tree pile every second, And put 20 coins in total. At that time, everyone walked out of the jungle following the coin-guided route. Looking at the past and looking at the coin in James's palm, the five young people began to see excitement.

The professor pushed the coin into a pocket hanging around his waist and confidently said, "We can leave the jungle if we can find the 20 coins. We can live in London! "His words are so tempting that everyone feels the lost power has returned.

This afternoon, the lucky god waved to them again, and the professor who walked before found the second coin, and everyone was even more surprised. They no longer had any doubt that they could walk out of the jungle.

The next day, the third day, and later, every day two or three coins were discovered by the professor. The pocket on his waist gradually swelled, and the conditions in the jungle were bad and dangerous, mosquitoes with beans and poisonous pythons are even worse. Their food is about to run out, but these are in comparison to the hope that the coins in the professor's pockets bring to everyone, it seems very small. Instead, the professors are getting increasingly silenced.

On the ninth day, everyone was exhausted and everyone knew that it was not long before they had persisted. At a crucial moment, 19th coins were miraculously discovered by the professor. The thought of coming out of this hateful jungle is full of strength. The three young people sang songs to take out all the food and share the final jungle dinner together. Only the professor was worried and said nothing.

In 10th days, everyone started very early. The professor walked in front of everyone as usual, but it was also very slow. Just about 10 minutes after the departure, everyone suddenly found that the professor was holding an oak tree and slowly fell down. When everyone went up and tried to help him, the elderly professor was exhausted.

The professor's body was buried sadly. While organizing the professor's belongings, a person opened the pocket. At that moment, everyone was stunned: there was only one coin and 18 stones in his pocket!

The three young men suddenly realized that, with the lie of 20 coins, the honorable teacher left them desperate to go for another week in the jungle, at the intersection of their feelings, a saw from the log was never far away, and five young people were rescued.

After returning to London, they carefully collected the coin and 18 stones because it was the most precious discovery of their archaeological career.
