Mr.Bastables was poor because his business went wrong. His six children wanted to help him. So they became treasure seekers. They had an idea respectively. And then they tried each of them. Although they didn't find treasure, they met an person, the Indian Uncle, at last. The Indian Uncle liked them and wes willing to help their father.

I was moved by their innocence and love for their father. In order to help their father, they tried different ideas. For example, they digged ground or tried to meet an princess. Although their ideas look impossible, they all tried their best. At last, the Indian Uncle was also moved because of their love. Besides, the story is interesting. In process of finding treasure, they met many people such as robbers and a rich man. They even became friends.

Although the story is not difficult, it is interesting. So I always can't wait to read it. I think a short story often has some interesting and meaningful things.
