Mina sat on her bedroom rug. The lamp gave a soft light. Her blanket looked warm. She looked at her toy shelf. She blinked.
“Hmm,” Mina said. “Some toys are missing.”
She put on her detective face. She held her small flashlight. Click! A circle of light danced on the floor.
Mina whispered, “I will find you.”
She saw a clue. A splash of red color under the chair.
“Bounce, bounce,” she said. She looked closer. There it was! Her red ball.
Mina hugged it. “Found you, ball.”
She listened. It was very quiet. Then—tap, tap.
Mina turned her head. “I hear a sound!”
