This symbol was not for any known place. Polly was curious. "This is more than a map," Polly thought. Fatima was also curious. She asked, "Is this a clue to something hidden?" Polly wanted to find out. She said, "Let's follow the map. Maybe it's a treasure map or a path to a secret garden!" They walked deeper into the medina. The streets became narrow and quiet. They turned into a small alley. The symbol was on an old wooden door. The door was slightly open. It looked mysterious. Fatima felt excited and a little scared. "What if this is a big adventure?" Polly said happily. Polly's excitement made Fatima brave. She opened the door slowly. Inside was a hidden courtyard. Sunlight came through green vines. In the middle was a beautiful fountain. The water shone like diamonds. Polly and Fatima looked at each other in wonder. "This place is forgotten by time," Fatima whispered. Polly loved languages. She wanted to find clues. They looked around the courtyard. Polly saw old writing on the fountain. "Let's read this," Polly said. They worked together to understand the words. The writing talked about a lost oasis. It was a place for peace and new ideas. Their discovery made them feel closer to Marrakech. It also made them want more adventures on their journey.
