Andrew's Treasure Hunt   
1     The hot sun was almost overhead when Andrew and his family finally got to the beach. They had been driving all morning so they could reach the coast. Andrew and his sister Marcie were ready to run and play in the sand.
 
2     "Before you go any farther, let's have some lunch," mother said. "We have sandwiches on wheat bread as well as some potato salad."

Sometime later, after they had all eaten, Andrew went to get his new birthday gift out of the car. He had received a metal detector and could hardly wait to try it out. The sun was warm on his back, and the sand was soft under his toes. Nothing felt better than this, he thought.
