The Adventures of Tintin

Tintin is one of my favourite heroes. He was created by the Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Tintin is a reporter and a detective who travels around the world with his dog Snowy. He is about 19 years old. He’s got a round face and orange hair. He’s very clever and kind. He’s always able to solve the mysteries and complete adventures in his stories. In 2011, they filmed one of the Tintin books. The movie starts in a street market. Tintin buys a model ship called the Unicorn. When Tintin gets home, Snowy starts chasing a cat and then accidentally tips over the model ship. It breaks, and a message appears. Tintin reads the message and does research about it. He learns that the Unicorn was a very old ship and had a secret cargo before it sank in the sea. It was attacked by the pirates for the treasure it was carrying. Tintin realises that the message is not complete. He learns that there are two other copies of the model ship, and when the messages are put together they tell the location of the treasure.
