    Jamal, a brave and intelligent boy, lived in the heart of the city. Despite his autism, he had an extraordinary ability to understand and solve complex puzzles.

    One day, Jamal found a mysterious map in an old book at the city library. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he realized it was a treasure map.

    The map led Jamal to a hidden cave in the forest. With a brave heart and a determined mind, he ventured into the cave, not knowing what he might find.

    In the cave, Jamal heard a mysterious voice. It was a riddle, a puzzle to be solved. His heart raced, but his mind was calm and focused.

    After solving the riddle, a hidden chamber was revealed. Jamal's eyes widened in amazement as he took in the sight of the ancient artifacts and the glowing crystals.

    On a pedestal, there was a golden key. The voice spoke again, giving Jamal another riddle. He thought hard and finally solved it, unlocking a secret door.

    He realized the true treasure was not the gold or the gems, but the ancient scrolls. They contained knowledge, wisdom, and stories of the past.

    Back home, Jamal was still the same boy, but with a new perspective. His room was filled with books, maps, and a picture of the hidden cave on his wall.
