Jaden found a map.
It was hidden in the sandbox.
'Sicily, look!' he whispered.
She peeked out from behind him.
'Let's find treasure!' Jaden grinned.
Sicily nodded, her eyes wide.
They followed the map around the yard.
Past the big oak tree.
Under the creaky swing.
Sicily found a clue near the roses.
'X marks the spot,' said Jaden, pointing.
The spot was under the porch.
Jaden bravely crawled in.
Sicily waited, hugging her knees.
He emerged with a box.
Inside, shiny pebbles and a toy car.
Sicily giggled, picking a pebble.
Jaden revved the car, smiling.
The car zoomed off, stopping near Sicily.
She crawled after it, not so shy now.
'Treasure is fun!' she said.
'The best treasure,' Jaden said, 'is playing with you.'
They laughed, the sandbox forgotten.
The end
