“I found a fossil while I was digging in the park today,” Shree answered, as if it was a normal thing to find a fossil. “You found what?!” “I found a fossil.” “Where?” “In the park.” “That sounds really exciting. Yes, I will take you to the lab tomorrow,” her mom said. “Thanks, Mom.” Shree went back into her bedroom and picked up the phone. “My mom said that it would be okay if we brought you the fossil tomorrow.” She got directions to the lab and hung up the phone. The next day when Shree woke up, she immediately got ready to go to the lab and drop off the bone. After she was ready, she carefully wrapped the fossil in a cloth and put it in a small box. When Shree went downstairs, she saw that her mom was downstairs making breakfast. Shree set the box on the table and dug into the bowl of cereal her mom placed in front of her. “We are going to leave in about twenty minutes,” her mom said. 34
