Grade 2 — Emma’s lunchbox vanishes, and a friend helps her look
Emma loved her new lunchbox. It was blue with a picture of a friendly dinosaur on it. Every day, she packed her lunch carefully, making sure to include her favorite sandwich and a piece of fruit. One day, however, something strange happened. When Emma went to get her lunchbox from her cubby, it was missing!
Emma looked everywhere. She checked under the tables, in the classroom library, and even in the art corner. But her lunchbox was nowhere to be found. She started to feel worried. What if someone had taken it?
Just then, her friend Jack came over. “What’s wrong, Emma?” he asked. Emma explained the situation, and Jack decided to help her look. They searched the playground, the gym, and even the cafeteria. Still, no lunchbox.
Finally, they decided to check the lost and found. As they walked in, Emma spotted something blue sticking out of a pile of jackets. It was her lunchbox! She picked it up and hugged it tightly. “How did it get here?” she wondered out loud.
Jack smiled and said, “Maybe someone found it and put it here so you could find it.” Emma was relieved and grateful to have her lunchbox back. She thanked Jack for his help and they both went back to class, ready to enjoy the rest of their day.
