The Map

Hard times were upon Maggi & Maria after the sudden accidental death of their parents & their grandparents.

Creditors were at their door and demanded money, claiming that even their home was mortgaged...

The sisters rummaged through all the drawers & shelves & found an important-looking Map in a black-box on their grandpa's study-table.

They checked out the Map, studying it carefully, trying to figure out the mystery treasure that was described.

Wasn’t mind-boggling for the smart ladies who reached for their grandpa's desk & took out the two picture-frames that hid a magnificent fortune - the World's Oldest Stamps!
