My friend and I were both excited about going to the history museum together. We entered the museum with enthusiasm as our teacher said, "You must obey every rule and behave appropriately in the museum." The museum has various departments such as archaeological, anthropological, display section, etc. The museum exhibits several old objects that were used in the past and have been preserved over time. I was entranced by an ancient book situated in the third row, and I couldn't stop looking at it. I touched a gorgeous ancient book which gave off a faint glow. It stopped after a few seconds. I was stunned. Suddenly a guard came and flashed me a warning not to touch or touch anything here. Afterwards, we returned home.

When I opened my bag, I was shocked to see the book in it. I have no idea how the book got into my bag. My hand reached for the book and I opened it. In the first page it says, "Write your wish." As I picked up the pen, I wrote, "I want a two wheeler." Then I placed the book secretly and slept.

The next morning, as I was attempting to wake up, my father came to my room and said he'd won a two-wheeler in the lucky draw. My mind wondered whether the unusual coincidence is merely a coincidence, or if it is related to the book. However, I decided to write another wish to verify whether it was real or not. On the next page, I wrote my second wish, "I will become a school topper."

As my exam results were announced in the evening, I was pleasantly surprised to find out I had won first place. I was stunned for a few moments, not realizing what had happened. Everyone greeted me. My parents were proud of me. I dashed to my bedroom to grab the book. My joy was overwhelming and I kissed the book. It was time for me to write my third wish. As I turned the third page, I wrote my third wish: I need a million dollars. When I opened my door the next day, I was surprised to find a suitcase at my feet. My hand went to it and I opened it. When I saw the suitcase full of money, I was shocked. Then I ran into the room and hid it. My happiness was soaring as I was able to accomplish anything.

When I turned the fourth page in the book, there it was, "Savage Begins" It shocked me, and I'm confused about what it was trying to convey. When I returned from school, my parents were being questioned by police. I have no idea what was going on. Then they began searching my house. They found the money under my bed and arrested me. I was being blamed for killing a business man and stealing the money. It seems no one believed me. I was in the lock up for whole day. Eventually, my dad showed up with a lawyer, and they played the surveillance video that showed how the killer threw the suitcase in front of my door as he tries to escape the police. They released me with a warning.

I've never been to a police station before. My eyes welled up with tears. Does everything that happened have something to do with the book? As I was so tired from being locked up I went to sleep. While I was trying to sleep, a news report flashed on the TV. It indicates that the result was incorrect. It wasn't me who scored the highest. There was a spelling error in the name of the other boy. I soon discovered that I failed in all subjects. The dramas I've seen so far are too much for me to bear. My life was turned upside down. It struck me suddenly that what will happen to my first wish? In a flash, my phone rang and I answered it. "Your father had met with an accident and was gravely injured," someone said. My anger was unbearable and I decided to destroy the book. I then threw it into the river. After returning home, I was astonished to find the book on my table. When I opened the book, it was written "To be Continued..."
