The crescent moon tucked between the clouds looks calm, but it is keeping watch over a tiny campsite mystery.
Can you spot the little peg near the tent flap? Between you and me, that was the peg Nora nearly lost when a puff of wind tugged the front flap loose. “Would you have checked under the blanket first?” she whispered, because the folded blanket inside the tent made the perfect hiding place for runaway things.
The peg was not there. It had rolled toward the grass by the fire ring, just past the stack of striped logs. Can you find the round stones circling the flames? Nora counted them while her brother held the tent pole steady: one, two, three… and there, beside the smallest stone, the peg winked in the firelight. She pushed it back into the ground, tied the flap tight, and grinned up at the sky.
Now look for the tiniest star near the crescent moon. Nora decided it was their secret signal: camp saved, lake quiet, marshmallows next.
