Islands are great places. For one thing, the old pirates used to bury their treasure on small islands in the middle of nowhere. Some of their treasure has never been found. So Scruffy and I escaped from Mum's eagle eye for a while and went treasure hunting on Nanuyakoto. Since pirates used caves a lot we spent a fair bit of time clambering into and over this pile of rocks with little caves in it. You should never go into caves on your own, because it is easy to get stuck. If Scruff hadn't been pushing from behind I would probably still be stuck in this tight spot. No, we didn't find any treasure. And yes, Mum was not happy with two decidedly dusty and dirty small bears. Mum found some treasure here though. She bought a beautiful gold Mabe pearl from the man who owns the island and we have made it into a pendant for her. Scruff and I are still hopeful that we will find Blackbear the Terrible's treasure some day.
