A Sealed Parcel

I nudged a sturdy brown cardboard box tucked by the entryway! It was taped tight with shiny brown tape, smelling wonderfully like fresh paper. I gave the tape seam a firm tap with my snout—solid as a rock! Could there be party streamers inside? Or tiny shiny trinkets? When a heavy footstep sounded in the hall, I froze completely still, waiting patiently. Nothing bad happened! I stayed right beside it, guarding our mysterious mystery treasure until we can peel it open!
