based on a river experience in
She saw it off shore just a bit, nestled between two boulders-the heart shaped rock. She knew the river water would be cold but she just had to have that rock. So, off went her flip flops and into the water she gingerly stepped. She drew a sharp breath..."It's cold!" Her family on shore just laughed and shouted back, "We told you!" she edged deeper into the water and the current. There it was, the prized heart-shaped rock. She picked it up and shouted over the rapids near her, "Can I keep it?" "Sure" replied her Aunt. "I found one three times that size that is in my yard." "Yay." She walked closer to the shore and tossed the rock. Her Aunt picked it up. "This has quite a large amount of quartz in it," she said. "So I can't keep it?" "Oh of course you can take it. Just watch out for Linda, my neighbor three doors down. She thinks every heart shaped rock in the creek belong to her."
Climbing out of the water, she put her flip flops back on, took her rock, and headed ack to her Aunt's home. 'What a treasure,' she thought. 'A Colorado keepsake that didn't cost me a thing.'
