The Lost Lunchbox

Jayden and her dog, Pip, were having a picnic in the sunny park. Jayden set her blue lunchbox beside a tree. When she looked again, it was gone! Jayden and Pip searched near the swings and under the picnic blanket. Pip sniffed behind a bush and found the lunchbox. A squirrel had nudged it there. Jayden thanked Pip, and they shared their apple slices.
