"Treasure Island"

 "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a thrilling tale of adventure, pirates, and buried treasure. Here's a summary of the full story:

The story begins at the Admiral Benbow Inn, where young Jim Hawkins lives with his parents. An old, weathered sea captain named Billy Bones arrives, carrying a mysterious sea chest. Bones, haunted by his past, pays Jim to keep a lookout for a one-legged seafaring man.

One day, Bones receives the "black spot," a pirate summons, and shortly after, he dies. Jim and his mother search Bones's chest, finding a treasure map. They take the map to Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, who recognize it as belonging to the infamous Captain Flint.

Excited by the prospect of buried treasure, Trelawney organizes a voyage to Treasure Island. They hire a ship, the Hispaniola, and a crew, including the charming but suspicious Long John Silver, a one-legged cook.

During the voyage, Jim overhears Silver plotting a mutiny. He discovers that many of the crew are pirates who served under Captain Flint, and Silver is their leader. Jim warns Captain Smollett, Dr. Livesey, and Squire Trelawney, and they prepare for the inevitable conflict.

Upon reaching Treasure Island, the pirates go ashore, and Jim impulsively joins them. He witnesses Silver's ruthless nature and escapes into the island's interior, where he encounters Ben Gunn, a marooned former member of Flint's crew.

Meanwhile, the loyal crew members take refuge in a stockade on the island. The conflict between the two groups escalates, with battles and betrayals. Jim, in his own adventures, finds Ben Gunn's small made boat. With this Jim then goes to the Hispaniola, and through a series of events reclaims the ship, but not without a fight.

Jim returns to the stockade, finding it occupied by Silver and the pirates. Silver, in a desperate attempt to survive, has made a deal with Dr. Livesey.

The climax of the story involves the search for the treasure. They find the treasure location, but it has already been emptied by Ben Gunn. Ben Gunn had found the treasure previously.

The loyal crew members, having anticipated this, ambush the pirates. They recover the treasure and prepare to return to England. Silver, in a complex twist, is allowed to come along, but he eventually escapes with a portion of the treasure.

The remaining pirates are left marooned on the island. Jim and his companions return home, their adventure concluded, but forever changed by their experiences.
