The news of their find spread quickly, and soon, everyone in town was talking about El Dorado and the brave travelers who had found it. Sarah and Alex were hailed as heroes, and their names were on everyone's lips.
But with the fame and attention came scrutiny. Many people were skeptical of their claims and accused them of fabricating the story of El Dorado. They said that it was impossible for such a city to exist, and that Sarah and Alex were only seeking attention.
Sarah and Alex were disappointed by the disbelief, but they knew that they had the evidence to back up their story. They had brought back artifacts and treasures from El Dorado, and they had the support of King Antonio and the people of the city.
So, they decided to present their evidence to the council and let them decide for themselves. They gathered all of the artifacts and treasures that they had collected and laid them out for the council to see.
As the council members examined the evidence, they were amazed by what they saw. They had never seen anything like it before. They knew that Sarah and Alex were telling the truth, and they recognized their achievement with a unanimous vote.
Sarah and Alex were awarded the reward for finding El Dorado, and they were hailed as heroes throughout the land. They were finally able to prove to the doubters that the lost city was real, and that anything was possible if you set your mind to it.
Sarah and Alex knew that their journey to El Dorado had changed their lives forever. They had discovered a new world and had made memories that would last a lifetime. And they knew that they would always treasure the experience of finding the lost city of gold.
