Unseen Passage for Class 3 - Passage 08
Posted by Olympiad Tester on
After breakfast, Anna headed to her dad's workbench in the garage. She found an old coffee can filled with nuts and bolts and decided to repurpose it as her time capsule. Anna thoughtfully selected items to include, picking her favorite book, her beloved yo-yo, and some cherished photos. Even her playful kitten, Kitty, joined in the fun, nudging a ball into the can. Anna even added a folded newspaper to capture the essence of the present day.
With all the memories packed in the can, Anna sealed it with tape. Using a thick black marker, she proudly wrote "ANNA AND KITTY'S TIME CAPSULE" on the front. Excited to bury it, she carried the can outside, grabbed a shovel from the shed, and carefully buried the time capsule in the garden.
After burying the time capsule, Anna found herself missing the items she had included. She realized she couldn't yo-yo or read her favorite book because they were buried. Feeling a bit puzzled, she scratched her head, but then an idea struck her. She remembered Kitty's ball and the sound of her bracelet clinking.
