'Bedtime!' Nura’s mother screamed. 'I’m about to capture a cobra That is going to protect me, Because I’m Nura, the Egyptian queen!' 'Well, this Egyptian queen, Is going to bed, right now!' 'But Mother…' Nura whined 'I don’t want to go to bed!' Bored in her bedroom, Nura stared at the floor. Suddenly, it started to flood 'Teddy, wake up! What’s going on?' Teddy woke up in a second. 'Something important has disappeared, We have to sail down the Nile River, In search of a Golden Beetle.' They sailed down the Nile River, Until they arrived at a big pyramid, 'Look above the pyramid’s door, That’s where the missing Beetle should go.' It was very silent inside the pyramid, To the right, there was a tunnel, And to the left, a big sarcophagus, 'Let’s find the Golden Beetle!' 'Teddy, this sarcophagus is heavy!' 'But look behind it, There’s a shiny ball of yarn, Could this lead us to the thief?' In the tunnel, they found animal tracks. 'They look smaller than a lion's tracks, But bigger than a mouse's tracks.' 'Do you think they belong to the thief?' Suddenly, the pyramid started to shake, And all the mummies began to wake up, 'There are the thieves, get them!' They heard a mummy scream. 'Run fast, Teddy! If the mummies catch us, We will be lost!' 'Look, a door, let's hide behind it!' 'It's very dark in here, But at least we are safe.' 'The bad thing is that it stinks of dead fish, And I promise it's not my feet!' Suddenly, something began to glow, 'The Golden Beetle, we found it!' Right then, they heard the thief say: 'Not so fast! The Golden Beetle is mine.' 'I'm Nura, the Egyptian queen, Now, give me back the Golden Beetle!' 'I'm Mau, the thief, and you are just what I needed. An Egyptian queen to restore the Golden Beetle's glow.' 'Get back and give me the Golden Beetle.' Said Nura with determination, While holding her cobra in front of Mau. 'Besides you smell really bad.' Right then, Nura woke up. 'Wow! Lately, I've been having, The most exciting dreams.' And she went back to sleep with a smile. But she fell asleep so fast, That she didn't notice that, Right next to her, The Golden Beetle was glowing.
