Lulu Plays Hide-and-Seek

One afternoon Lulu went to the grocery store with her mommy. While they were at the grocery store, they could play hide-and-seek. But not with each other. At this grocery store, the workers hid a stuffed toy kangaroo somewhere on the shelves. And if kids could find it, then the kids would get a sticker from the cashier.

Lulu decided that she would look for the stuffed toy kangaroo while they were shopping. First Lulu and her mommy walked around the fruit and vegetables section. Lulu looked all around, but didn’t see the stuffed toy kangaroo anywhere. She looked under the tables of fruit, to see if it was in a fruit box.

But that’s not where it was. She looked behind the vegetables, but that’s not where it was. Then they walked over to the eggs section. There were lots of cartons of eggs. But there was no stuffed toy kangaroo around the eggs. Lulu knew it must be hidden well, so she kept looking for it.

Then Lulu and her mommy walked to the bread section. Lulu wondered if the stuffed toy kangaroo might be hidden behind some bags of bread, but it wasn’t on any of the bread shelves where Lulu looked. They kept walking, and Lulu and her mommy were in the canned food section. Lulu thought this was a great place to hide the stuffed toy kangaroo.

But it wasn’t at the top of the shelves of canned food, and it wasn’t behind the cans on the shelves. Lulu kept her eyes wide open, looking all around very carefully. She knew she would find it if she kept looking. Then Lulu and her mommy walked over to the cheese section. This was a very difficult place to hide the stuffed toy kangaroo, and Lulu wasn’t sure if she would find it there. She looked all around and didn’t see it.

Then Lulu and her mommy walked over to the cereal section. There were lots of boxes of cereal, and lots of places to hide the stuffed toy kangaroo. Lulu looked on each shelf, but didn’t see it anywhere. Then Lulu and her mommy walked over to the frozen food section. And there at the end of the freezer, Lulu saw the stuffed toy kangaroo sitting in the corner. Yay, Lulu had found it. She was glad that she kept looking for it.

Now that her mommy was done getting groceries, they went to the cashier to buy their groceries. When it was their turn at the cashier, the cashier asked Lulu if she found the stuffed toy kangaroo. Lulu said yes she found it. The cashier asked where it was, and Lulu said it was hiding in the freezer. The cashier said that was correct, and gave Lulu a sticker. It was a sticker of a big smiley face. Lulu put the sticker on her shirt.

Then Lulu and her mommy went home. Lulu ate dinner with her parents. After dinner, Lulu put the sticker in her notebook, and drew a picture of the stuffed toy kangaroo. Then she got ready for bed, and brushed her teeth. Lulu laid down, closed her eyes, and went to sleep, slowly slowly slowly.
