Benjamin and Amelia had been traveling for days, and they were finally close to their destination. They had heard rumors of a gold mine in the area, and they were determined to find it.
As they rode their horses through the desert, they saw a plume of dust in the distance. It was a group of riders, and they were heading in the same direction as Benjamin and Amelia.
Benjamin and Amelia spurred their horses into a gallop, determined to reach the gold mine first. The other riders were close behind, and the race was on.
The two of them rode as fast as their horses could carry them, dodging cacti and jumping over rocks. The other riders were gaining on them, but Benjamin and Amelia kept pushing forward.
Finally, they reached the entrance to the gold mine. They quickly dismounted and ran inside, eager to claim their prize.
But when they got inside, they saw that the other riders had beaten them to it. The mine was already being worked, and the other riders had already started to collect the gold.
Benjamin and Amelia were disappointed, but they weren't ready to give up yet. They decided to stay and help the other riders, hoping that they would be rewarded for their hard work.
The days passed, and the gold started to pile up. Finally, the riders decided to divide the gold among themselves. Benjamin and Amelia were each given a share, and they were overjoyed.
They had raced to the gold mine, and they had won. They had found their fortune, and they were ready to start a new life.
