Once upon a time, there was a fun place called Pongo Ping. Everyone was having a great time until something strange happened. All their favorite things went missing!
Bong was surprised to see everyone gathered together. “Where did all my things go?” he wondered. Everyone was worried because their things were missing too!
Bong had an idea. “I was digging over there and found some things,” he said. “Look, there’s my toy plane!” But not everyone had found their things yet.
Bong decided to help his friends find their treasures. They played a fun guessing game to figure out what each missing item was!
First Clue: “I see something that’s really soft,” said Bong. “Is it cotton? A stuffed toy?” guessed his friend. “No, it’s something you use in bed to keep warm.” “Ah, it’s a blanket!” they cheered. “Yes, you got it right!”
Second Clue: “I see something that is round,” Bong said. “Is it a tire? A donut?” guessed another friend. “No, it’s something you use when playing soccer.” “Ah, it’s a ball!” they shouted happily. “Yes, you got it right!”
Third Clue: “I see something that’s shiny and yellow,” Bong described. “Is it a star? A coin?” guessed another friend. “No, a prince and a princess wear this on their heads.” “Oh, my crown!” they exclaimed. “Yes, you got it right!”
Then, they discovered that Mr. Mole had taken their things because he thought they looked cool. “You should never take others’ things without asking,” they told him. Mr. Mole felt sorry and promised not to do it again. Everyone forgave him, and he returned all the treasures.

Treasure Hunt at Home: Ask a grown-up to hide some of your favorite toys or items around the house. Then, go on a treasure hunt to find them! As you search, think about how Bong and his friends used clues to find their missing things. Can you give clues to someone else to help them find the treasures too?
Create Your Own Clues: Choose three items from your room and write or draw clues for each one, just like Bong did. Share your clues with a friend or family member and see if they can guess what the items are. This will help you practice thinking about different ways to describe things.
Observation Walk: Go on a walk with a grown-up and look for things that remind you of the clues in the story. Can you find something soft like a blanket, round like a ball, or shiny like a crown? Talk about what you find and how it relates to the story. This will help you notice and appreciate the things around you.

Bong, where did all my things go? Huh, why is everyone gathered here?
You see, all of our things have gone missing.
Oh no, you mean yours too?
Yeah! Hey everyone, what are you all doing?
We’ve lost all of our things and can’t find them.
Oh, I was digging over there a little earlier and I found a few things.
Look, huh, that’s my toy plane and this is my stop.
[Music]
But where’s mine? Mine’s not here.
I can help you look for it! Let’s go!
B, what do you see? You have to guess what it can be.
[Music]
I see something that’s really soft.
Something that’s soft? Is it cotton? Is it a stuffed toy?
No, no, no, take another guess.
It’s something that you use in your bed to keep you warm.
Ah, it’s a blanket!
Yes, yes, yes! You got it right!
Oh my Blinky, thank you!
No problem, Mr. Excavator!
Me too, me too! Will you help me find my things too?
Of course! Let’s go!
B, what do you see? You have to guess what it can be.
[Music]
I see something that is round.
Something that’s round? Is it a tire? A donut?
No, no, no, take another guess.
It’s something you use when you’re playing soccer.
Ah, it’s a ball!
Yes, yes, yes! You got it right!
Yay, my favorite ball! I found it! Thank you so much!
No problem, Mr. Excavator!
Mr. Excavator, I really need help finding my things too.
Okay, let’s go look for it!
B, what do you see? You have to guess what it can be.
[Music]
I see something that’s shiny and yellow.
Something that’s shiny and yellow? Is it a star? A coin?
No, no, no, take another guess.
A prince and a princess will wear this on their heads.
Oh, my crown!
Yes, yes, yes! You got it right!
Thank you so much!
[Laughter]
Uh-oh, Mr. Mole, was it you that took everyone’s things?
You should never take others’ things without asking for permission first.
I’m sorry, they just looked so cool.
But from now on, I won’t take other things anymore.
We’ll forgive you, but only just this once.
Really? Thank you! I’ll return all these things to your friends right away.
