Sam looked out the window hoping she could go outside and play with her friends or just go have fun. But she couldn’t because it was pouring outside and her mother didn’t want her to get catch a cold. Sam didn’t care about any of that. Sam thought about the hole in the fence that was on the property behind her yard. It looked mysterious and a fun place to explore. “Hey Sam I’m going to the store to buy some groceries. It’s going to be raining all weekend and we’re going to be staying home for most of the time.” “No, I think I should stay home and get some homework done.

Sam picked up the box and started to run back to her house. When sam got to her house, she ran straight to her room to see what was in the box. The box had a lock on it but it seemed to be unlocked.
