Sam and Dara were at the park.
A shiny sparkle caught Sam’s eye.

A crystal ball! A magic pearl!
A treasure for Sam’s collection!

“That’s not treasure – that’s junk,” said Dara.
She didn’t like the things Sam found.

That was fine with Sam.
“Time to go treasure hunting!”
Off he went with his backpack.

Between the bushes Sam found a crown and a magic wand.

Under an old log he found monsters and creepy creatures.
No, thank you!

Among the flowers, Sam found a chest and a ring.

In the stream, Sam found a message in a bottle and a wise old wizard.

By the lamp post, Sam found a sports car and a victory trophy. Time to show Dara all the treasures he had found!

Dara was crying.
“I lost my ring,” said Dara.
“I don’t know where I dropped it.”

That sounded like something Sam had found.
It was! It was Dara’s ring!

“Thank you, Sam! You DO find treasures!”
