They immediately went back to planting after Nefeli said that there wasn't another storm coming. This would be the hardest year ever. The food they brought was used sparingly, and shelter was hard to find. One day, about a week after the storm, Nefeli found a small scrap of wood buried in the ground. She ran towards it, hoping for the best. She found a chest, it took weeks after weeks to open it, but it was all worth it. She found enough money to last her town a lifetime. Her father wanted to keep it to themselves though, as he thought, "If my daughter didn't save them, no one would be alive." Nefeli told her father, "But if the storm never came in, we never would've found this."
They had an argument, longer than ever before, but it was resolved in the end. They would give the money to the townspeople. Soon after this decision, the town was living better than before, yet was kind when it came to depts, it was a memory of before the storm. If the storm never came, this town wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. I guess even in the smallest shipwrecks, can hide the biggest treasures. The End.
