The Time Capsule
“I’m going to make a time capsule,” Anna told her parents at the
breakfast table. Dad looked up from his coffee mug and smiled. “Sounds
interesting.”
“Say hello to the pilgrims for me.”
Laughing, Anna shook her head. “No,
Dad. You’re thinking of time travel.
I’m building a time capsule –it’s like a
memory box. I watched my principal
dig one up from our school yard
yesterday. Some students buried the
capsule thirty years ago.
It had a lot of old stuff in it, so we could see what life was like back
then.” After breakfast, Anna went to her dad's workbench in the garage.
She looked around and found an old coffee can filled with nuts and bolts.
She dumped them out so she could use it as her time capsule.
She scratched her head. What should she put in the can?

With her kitten following close behind, Anna browsed through her
things. She grabbed her favorite book, her yo-yo and some photos. She
packed them in the can. She pulled off her charm bracelet and placed it
in the can too.
“What else should I put in here?” she
asked Kitty. “The newspaper? So, people
will know what happened today?” Anna
ran downstairs and brought back the
newspaper. She folded it up and in the
can it went.
“Meow.” Kitty nudged a ball toward
the can. “Sure, Kitty, I’ll include your
ball.” Anna put Kitty’s ball in the can.
Anna put the top on and sealed the can
with tape. On the front, she wrote:
(ANNA AND KITTY’S TIME CAPSULE) with a thick black marker.
She carried the can outside. After grabbing a shovel from the shed, she
buried her time capsule in the garden. “All done,” she told Kitty. After a
few minutes, Anna sighed. What should she do next? She couldn’t yo-yo.
Or read her favorite book. She’d buried those. Now, she missed them.
She scratched her head, then paused. She missed the sound of her
bracelet clinking too. “Meow.” Kitty pawed the burial spot.
“Do you miss your ball?” Anna asked. “Don’t worry. I’ll get it for you.” So,
Anna dug up their time capsule. Kitty pounced on the ball.
And Anna pulled on her bracelet and read her book while yo-yoing under
a tree in the garden.

red represents bravery and courage. About 9.5 million people

Emirati.
