Hidden in a Sandbox
Sid dug in his sandbox. He dug until he hit a big box. It was red. There was a lot of rust on it.
He dug until he got it up from the sand. He dusted it off. In the box was a lump with fabric across it.
With a pull, the fabric was off.
The lump was a glass hippo! The hippo had a trumpet in its hand.
Sid put it next to his bed.
