As I was walking home from school today something caught my eye. At the edge of the Radley place stood two very large oak trees. Some tin foil was visible to me sticking out in a knothole. I made sure the coast was clear before I snatched it up as fast as I could. Once I was out of sight I found it to be two pieces of gum! I decided to try the gum since it looked considerably fresh. When Jem arrived home he insisted I spit it out, for I don't know where it has been. I wonder who placed it there?
Today was my last day of school and I couldn't be more thrilled! Jem and I were let out early and walked home together. On our walk home, we spotted another piece of foil in the knothole where we found the chewing gum. Jem snatched the tiny package and we ran home with it. When we got inside, we secretly opened the box to discover two shiny, polished pennies. Jem explained to me how they were Indian-heads from the 1900's. We decided to keep them until school started, then ask around to see if they belonged to anyone. They could be of great value!
