Consider her options
“Come on, Emma! What’s in it? Chris and Tommy asked, “Show us!” Emma was silent as she weighed her options. She could close the box, and then tell them that it was empty.
She could also show them now. But she knew that if she did, they’d be stuck in this place for a while.
Special object
She decided to show them. She couldn’t deny her curiosity about the contents of the package.
There was a very special item inside the box. Emma picked it up and held it out to the other children.
