Where Is My Red Ball?

“Where is my red ball?” asks Sam.

“Look under the bed,” says Mum.

Sam looks under the bed. No ball. Only socks.

“Look behind the door,” says Mum.

Sam looks behind the door. No ball. Only a big coat.

“Look above the desk,” says Mum.

Sam looks above the desk, on the high shelf. No ball. Only books.

“Look below the window,” says Mum.

Sam looks below the window. And there, in the box, is the red ball.

“It is here!” says Sam.

“Of course,” says Mum. “It is always in the last place you look.”
