The Tomb of the White Knight

"Well, I don't see anything here. I'm ready to leave." Rodney says with a sigh.Phil is about to agree when he spies a small switch on the stone wall. "Wait, Rodney! What do you think happens if I push this?" Before Rodney can answer, Phil presses the switch, and the wall slides away to reveal a large chamber.
"We've got to leave!" Rodney shouts, his voice shaking with fear. But Phil is too busy admiring the treasure to notice that the secret door is slowly sliding closed. If they don't leave now, the brothers will be trapped in the tomb forever.Rodney grabs Phil's wrist and pulls him through the gap in the doorway, inches before the secret chamber seals shut.

The Tomb of the White Knight

The chamber is full of gold, silver, and rare gems piled high to the ceiling. "Wow! I can't believe it!" Phil gasps. He falls to his knees and scoops up a handful of gold coins. Suddenly, a lightning storm starts to rumble outside. The brothers hear a loud bang, and the walls begin to shake.

The Tomb of the White Knight

Rodney and Phil stumble out of the tomb and gasp fresh air into their lungs. "That wasn't worth the risk! We nearly died for nothing!" Rodney exclaims. Phil smirks. "I wouldn't say that, my friend."He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a gold ring inscribed with the image of a young queen. "This ring must be worth so much money! We're going to be rich!"
