Imagine you find a hat in the woods. How would you approach the hat?What will you do when you find it.

Write a description of how you come across the hat and where you find it.

It was a warm sunny day and the sun was gleaming through the gaps in the tall trees. I decided to go for awalk. The cabin was beginning to feel hot and sticky. I stepped out and the sun shone brightly in my face. I started walking and could feel the sticks crushing between my feet. Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to

something strange that I could see lying beside the rough bark of the tree. What was it? Where did it comefrom? Who did it belong too? I decided to see what it was. No one seemed to be looking for it. It was a

strange looking hat. That is what it was.
