"Jimmy? Can you please go out side and dig some holes for our new trees? Daddy has been too busy to do it and you've been wanting to use the new shovel, so here is your chance," Mrs. Fisher asked her nine year-old son.
    "Sure Mom! I'll go do that right now!" exclaimed Jimmy. He quickly put on his shoes and ran out side. Soon he was happily digging away. Suddenly his shovel hit something hard! Jimmy had a big imagination so his first though was I bet it's treasure! Probably some pirates hid a treasure chest and meant to come find it but something happened, so it's still here! He didn't even stop to think about the fact that pirates weren't in Colorado. Jimmy started to dig extra fast and soon he had a great big hole. But to his disappointment, his "treasure" was only a big rock.
    When Jimmy went in to eat lunch he told his mom all about it.
    "Oh well, maybe you'll find treasure someday. Dad wanted me to go pick up one more tree for the back yard. Would you mind digging the hole later?"
    "No, I don't mind. I had lots of fun. Maybe I'll find treasure this time! Real treasure and not a rock. Can I come with you?" asked Jimmy. He loved to go to Home Depot where they got the trees, but they didn't go very often.
    "Actually, I think that you have some chores to do that should have been done earlier. Am I right?"
    "Yes, Mommy, I still have chores to do. Thanks for reminding me. I'll do them while you are gone. That way I can dig right when you get back," replied Jimmy, slightly disappointed that he couldn't go, even though he knew that he should have gotten his chores done earlier.
    "Okay, I'll see you later!" Mrs. Fisher called as she walked out the door.
    Jimmy went and gathered all the trash cans to empty them, and when he was done with that he got out the vacuum so he could vacuum his room. After that he did a few other things around the house and sat down in a chair with his favorite book.
    In about a half hour his mom pulled into the drive way. Jimmy ran out to meet her.
    "Can I dig now?" asked Jimmy bouncing around his mother.
    "No, I'm sorry but Dad wanted to take you out for ice cream," his mother said. "You can dig right when you get back."
    "All right! I like ice cream better than digging anyway," he exclaimed.
    Jimmy enjoyed his ice cream tremendously, and then as soon as he got home he grabbed the shovel and started to dig. He noticed that his mother had already started a little hole where he was supposed to put the big tree. This time when his shovel hit something hard he didn't get excited because he was afraid it would be a rock again. But this time he wasn't disappointed!     It was a treasure chest! He saw a key tied to it and quickly opened it up. Inside it was a new game he had wanted for a while, and some chocolate bars.
    "MOM! Come look at this!!!"Jimmy yelled and ran inside. "Some pirates left a treasure chest with just the things I wanted in it!"
    "Wow! How exciting!" Jimmy's mom said. Then Jimmy noticed a little twinkle in his mom's eye, and he said, "Did you put that out there?" But his mom never did tell him.
