Coral Lee Joins the Digging Crew
“Callie, I found your rock over on a shelf behind some magnets!” you announce to Mrs. Green and the class.
You decide to quit hanging out with Shoppers anymore. If they're going to steal and make fun of other people, you won't be a Shopper.
A few minutes before the search, Rachel, another Shopper, had passed Uncle Geo's rock to you. She told you to hide it. You don't want to tell on Rachel.
You decide to join the Marble twins' digging crew called the Earth Crew. It sounds like they have fun!
You make a deal with Rachel. “Rachel, I hope you won’t do something like this anymore. You will get into trouble. I'm done with you Shoppers. I'm tired of shopping. I want to learn more about our Earth. I'm joining the Earth Crew."
Rachel is speechless! Her mouth hangs opens. She looks afraid. "Don't worry, Rachel, I'm not going to tell what you did this time. I hope you realize it's more fun to be nice."
Callie comes over to you, "Thanks, Coral Lee! My uncle trusted me to take care of that rock!" When you ask if you can go digging on their next adventure, she invites you to go along with their family to Uncle Geo’s mine.
She adds, "Be sure to wear long sleeves, long pants, and hiking boots. Bring goggles, gloves,water and a snack in your back pack.
Last week, while we were rockhounding, Artie got hurt. He struck a rock with a rock pick. A tiny slivers of rock shot out. One lodged in his left arm. He bled a little, but we couldn’t get the rock out."
Artie said, "After I got home, my mom and aunt worked for ten minutes with tweezers and a needle to pry out the rock particle. It was the size of a dull pencil lead tip flattened out. It hurt and it bled. I already had a tetnus shot so I didn't have to go to the doctor."
Luckily Callie, her aunt, and Artie wore their goggles when the rock splinters flew everywhere. (Callie didn’t tell Coral Lee about the magical powers of the goggles.)
