Bo and Brownie the puppy were out for a walk.

Teo and Tun waited at the playground.

Teo started to brag about his new toy boat. “ My dad bought it in the city. This is the best toy boat in the world!”

Bon agreed. “Your boat sure is a treasure!”

Bo shook his head. “I have so many better things! I have a wholeloot of treasures!”

Teo andTun weren't sure about that. “Show us! ” they demanded.

Bo ran home and looked in his box of toys.

Nothing special.

They were all boring.

He would have to find treasures somewhere else.

Bo ran outside. He saw Grandpa's potted plant.

“Grandpa loves this a lot. Must be a treasure.”

Bo took the plant to his room.

Bo ran into thekitchen. He rifled through Grandma's cupboard.

“Grandmaloves these funny things. Must be treasures!”

Bo took them all to his room.

Bo ran to the family room.

“Pa loves this game a lot. Must be a treasure.”

So Bo took the game to his room.

Bo went to his sister's room.

“Na loves these books a lot. Mustbe treasures!”

Bo took all of them back to his room.

He finally went into his mother's room.

“Ma adores all this make-up. Must be a treasure.”

Bo took the make-up purse to his room.

Bo called Tun and Teo to come and see his loot.

Meanwhile, everyone in the house was angry.

Where were their special things?

Bo and his friends put everything back.

But Ma still couldn't find her perfume!

Ma glared at the boys.

If they didn't find the perfume, they would all be grounded!

The boys started yelling at each other.

“You have it!”

“No, you have it!”

“No, you do!”

Finally, Bo took the blame.

This was all his fault.

The other two boys felt badly, too. They helped Bo look for the perfume.

Suddenly, they all heard a bark.

Brownie and his sharp nose found the perfume under the chair.

Tun said, “Thanks to your dog, we'renot grounded.”

Teo agreed. “ Brownie sure is a treasure!”

But Tun couldn't help himself.

“Brownie is cool, but my dog is cooler. He's like a WHOLE pile of treasures. Really!”
