Fitch Finds a Crate

Fitch dove in the lake. He swam deep.

The lake was cold in the deep spots!

Fitch found an old crate. He got hold of the crate. He swam with it.

Up he swam. Fitch came up with a gasp.

He put the crate on the sand. The lid was stuck shut.

Fitch hit the lid with a pole. The lid broke.

There was a pile of old coins in the crate!
