The Map in the Sandbox

Rosa and her friend Jin were digging in the school sandbox. Rosa found a folded paper under a bucket. "Look!" she said. "It is a map!"

The map showed a path to the big oak tree. Rosa and Jin walked along the path. They were laughing the whole way. Behind the tree, they found a small box. It was stuck, so they pulled and pulled. At last it came open. Inside were two shiny marbles and a note.

The note said, "Thank you for finding my marbles. Please hide them again so more people can find them." Rosa and Jin said yes. They put the marbles back and ran to tell their class.
