EXCERPT

One day a month was what Mommy called, "Rummaging Day." She had a map with a schedule of the city's curbside trash pickup. People left items that they no longer wanted between the curb and the sidewalk. Others were welcomed to poke around in the loot.

Zachary took his map and magnifying glass.

Zachary imagined he was in the Sahara Desert digging his way through piles of sand looking for buried artifacts.

That day, they stumbled onto a real treasure. A pedal car painted with racing stripes. It was in excellent condition and free for the taking.

Mommy told Zachary, "Some people throw away the nicest things. One person's trash is another's treasure."
