"Ten
steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled
Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high.
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
He
dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He
sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something...

|

|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
...but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"

|
But when Jimmy's mother
saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from
here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."
