In the Middle Ages, long ago,
There lived brave knights, and tales of woe,
They searched for treasure far and wide,
But sometimes came to a dead end, and cried.

One day a catalog they found,
Listing treasures all around,
With an acrostic code to crack,
They followed clues and never looked back.

A decade passed and they searched still,
Their quest for treasure never fulfilled,
Until they found a mystery clue,
Leading them to treasures anew.

The pattern in the catalog,
Was the key to their success, no fog,
They solved the puzzle, found the gold,
And their adventure never got old.

So when you face a mystery too,
Just like the knights, you'll know what to do,
Look for patterns, and never give in,
And you'll find treasure, let the adventure begin!

Reflections

1. What was the problem the knights faced in their quest for treasure, and how did they solve it?
2. What clues did the knights use to solve the mystery, and how did they follow the pattern in the catalog?
3. How did the knights stay motivated during their decade-long adventure, and what qualities did they need to have to succeed?
4. Can you think of a time when you had to solve a problem by following a pattern or using your wits, and what did you learn from that experience?
5. What do you think the knights learned from their treasure quest, and how might their adventure help them in the future?
