a small thing, just for me

There was so much to do during the festival that he took to doing everything but the race. After seeing everyone that had lined up, he felt he didn't have much of a chance considering how small he was still compared to everyone else. So under the watchful eye of his mother, he decided to partake in the treasure hunt and hoped he'd find something good! He wandered around looking for a spot to dig, but it looked like half the island had already been dug up. Frowning, he walked down the shoreline and soon enough found what he thought was a good spot.

Looking back to his mom for a moment, he tested the sand under his feet before he set to digging. He wanted to do it by himself and without any help, and the sand made it very easy to dig through. As he dug, he noticed someone else was nearby and he lifted his head to look at her. She was a very pretty wolf, and the young boy greeted her from his spot. "Hi! Are you digging for treasure too?" He questioned with friendly curiosity.
