                                        An important box

    The children were outside. They were playing football. One boy kicked the ball. It landed in a bush. “Sorry,’’ said the boy. He couldn’t get the ball. “I can get it,” said another boy. He found a box. “Look at this,” he said. “I found it in the bush.” Dad looked at the box. He couldn’t open it. The boy looked at the box. “What can be in it?” he asked. “It looks important.” Dad called the police officer. The police officer came. “What is in this box?” asked dad. “We don’t know.” Said the police officer, “but it is very important.”

    A man came in a big car. “Who is he?” asked the boy. “I don’t know,” said dad. “But he looks important.” The man took the box. “It’s my box,” he said. “Thank you. It was stolen. It is very important.” The man got in the car. “Excuse me,” said the policeman. “What is in the box?”

   “Ah!” said the man. “My sandwiches and apples for my lunch.”
