One day Lulu was reading a book from the library. She turned one of the pages, and a folded piece of paper fell out. Lulu picked up the paper and unfolded it. On the paper was written a note, and a drawing of a map. The note said that somebody had buried a fun treasure, and the map would help find it.

And the note also said that the person who wrote the note and drew the map, put it in the book for the next reader to find. Lulu was excited to go look for the treasure. Lulu put the note in her pocket and went to Sally’s home. When Lulu reached Sally’s home, she told Sally about the note and showed her the map.

Sally was excited, and they both went out to go treasure hunting. The map told them that the treasure was buried in the ground near the playground. When Lulu and Sally arrived at the field they looked at the map again. The map showed them that they had to go find an apple tree. Lulu and Sally walked around, looking at the trees, and they found one that had apples growing on it.

They looked at the map again, and the map said to stand under the tree and look for a big rock. Lulu and Sally walked around the tree, looking for a big rock. Then they saw one and looked at the map again. Next the map said that they had to walk from the tree halfway to the rock, and look for some yellow flowers planted in a circle pattern.

Lulu and Sally started walking towards the rock. They stopped when they saw some yellow flowers. Then they looked at the map again and it said to dig in the ground between the flowers. Lulu and Sally brought small shovels with them, and they started to dig. After a few minutes of digging, they could see a metal box.

They pulled the metal box out of the ground and cleaned the dirt off it. Then they carefully opened the box. In the box was a photo of two old ladies. And on the back of the photo there was a note written. The note on the photo said that those two old ladies used to play at the playground as kids a long time ago.

Lulu and Sally looked in the box some more, and they saw two bracelets. There was another folded paper in the box, and it also had a note on it. The note said that the two bracelets were made by the two old ladies when they were young girls. And then they put it in the treasure box for somebody to find and keep.

Lulu and Sally were excited that they found the treasure box, by using the map that was in the library book. Then Lulu and Sally went and got two necklaces and a photo of themselves, and put that in the treasure box. They also wrote a note in the treasure box, saying that the necklaces were from them for whoever finds it.

And they buried the treasure box again. Lulu and Sally decided to put the map and note back in the library book for somebody else to find when they read it. Then Lulu said goodbye to Sally and went back home. Lulu was excited about finding the bracelet and the treasure box.

She drew a picture of her and Sally digging in the ground near the yellow flower, and put the drawing on the fridge. Then it was time for dinner. After dinner, Lulu finished reading the library book. When she was done with the book, Lulu brushed her teeth. Then she laid down and went to sleep, slowly slowly slowly.
