A
On a stormy Saturday afternoon, Tommy and his sister Lucy were feeling disappointed. They had planned to meet their friends at the park, but the heavy rain and strong wind made it impossible to go outside.
“ No TV and no phones today,” Mom said firmly (坚定地). “Let’s do something different!”
“But what can we do It’s so boring!” Tommy complained, watching the raindrops racing down the window.
Just then, Dad appeared with a big smile. “I have an idea! Let’s play ‘Indoor Treasure (宝物) Hunt’!”
Mom and Dad quickly wrote down some clues (线索) on colorful paper notes. They hid them all around the house while Tommy and Lucy waited in their room, laughing with excitement.
The first clue led them to the kitchen, where they found another note under a plate. The second clue took them to Dad’s shoes in the hallway. Each clue was like a small puzzle, and solving them was so much fun!
The children ran from room to room, searching under beds, behind windows, and inside empty boxes. They worked together, helping each other read the clues and find the hidden treasures.
The final clue led them to the biggest surprise—Mom had baked their favorite chocolate cookies, still warm from the oven!
“This is the best rainy day ever!” Lucy shouted, eating a cookie.
Tommy nodded in agreement. “Can we play this game again next time it rains ”
