The Hunt for Gold

The speck of gold blew out of Biff's hand. It blew on to the carpet. ''Did you see where it went?'' asked Biff. ''Oh no! Sorry!'' said Chip.
The children looked and looked. They couldn't find the little speck of gold. ''I don't think we ever will,'' said Biff. ''Oh no!'' said everyone.


Today I read The Hunt for Gold.
In this story, people picked up the gold at any time by using chewing gum. For example when a women's charms fell off and went down the plug hole, her mother picked by chewing gum. And when people look for gold to sell in ancient, they used it and picked. For me, this idea makes me surprised. It's because, I can't think it! This book was so interesting.
