Lost and Found
Donna and her husband, John, go to the beach every Saturday in summer. Today is no
exception. Donna packs
a picnic lunch. She packs the beach umbrella and sun lotion.
She cannot find their beach towels. Donna always loses
things. The towels are not in the laundry basket or dryer.
They are not in the closet, either. She finally looks in her beach
bag. She sees the towels folded in the bottom. Of course,
the beach towels are exactly where they should be.
Donna puts on her swimsuit and floppy sun hat. She is almost ready. She just needs
her sunglasses. She thinks they are on the table by the door, or maybe they are in the
bathroom.
They could also be in her purse. Donna sighs.
John puts the picnic basket, umbrella, and beach bag in the car. He checks his fishing
poles and equipment. He places them in the car beside the picnic basket. Daisy, their dog,
jumps in
the backseat. She loves the beach! John is ready to leave. Where is Donna? She knows he
likes
to arrive at the beach before the crowds. John groans and shakes his head. Donna is always
late!
Donna searches for her sunglasses. She cannot find them, and she knows John is waiting.
He hates when she is late! She grabs her purse and locks the door.
"You are late," John says as Donna gets in the car. Donna tells John that she could not find her
sunglasses.
John looks at her and laughs! He flips down the sun visor so Donna can see herself in the
mirror.
Donna looks in the mirror and laughs too. Her sunglasses are on top of her head. They were there
the whole time!
"It is always in the last place that you look," Donna giggles!
