Jimmy’s Treasure

One night Jimmy fell asleep and had a dream about a treasure.  In his dream, he saw a big box of gold coins buried near the bushes in his backyard.  The dream seemed so real to Jimmy.  He began to think that maybe there really was a treasure in his backyard, near the bushes.

The next morning Jimmy woke up and began to dig a hole.  he kept digging.  The hole got deeper.  The pile of dirt became higher.

Then Jimmy got tired.  He could not dig anymore.  Then he saw something.  It was a dog bone.  Jimmy was  very sad because he did not find a treasure.  For all his hard work, he had found only a dog bone.

But then, Jimmy’s mother came.  She saw what Jimmy had done.  She wanted to plant a rose bush in the backyard.  The hole Jimmy dug was in the perfect place.  She was very happy.  She gave him $5 for digging the hole.  Jimmy smiled.  He did get a treasure after all.
