Sally always loved to collect rocks, and frequented the shores of Lake Michigan to
collect the best ones. Her friend Salena always thought it was funny that she liked
rocks so much. Sally didn’t want to be made fun of though, so she told Salena to
never tell anyone about the rocks. One afternoon at the playground while Sally and
Salena were playing with their other friends Billy and Verina, Salena suddenly
blurted out, “Sally likes to collect rocks from the shores of Lake Michigan and has a
stash of them under her bed.”
