4-2 The Big Hole 大沙坑

The Big Hole

Down at the beach, Mom was reading in a folding chair. But Dad had another plan. "Come on, kids," said Dad. "Let's dig a big hole for the three of us!" "Good idea!" cheered Adam and Emma.

Dad took out his wallet and his phone. He put them in Mom's hat. "I don't want to lose these," he said. Dad, Adam and Emma dug with their spades.

At last, the hole was done. Emma and Adam jumped in and had fun. "Wait a minute," said Dad. "Where's the hat, my wallet, and my phone?"

"They must be covered by sand!" Dad started to dig. "I have an idea," said Emma. "We can call Dad's phone." From the sand piles there was a RING! Emma walked along the sand piles. "It's here somewhere."

"Let's dig," said Adam. The family dug. "Here it is!" Emma said. She pulled out the hat. It was covered in sand.
