"Let's play Hide and Seek," said my brother to me.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12…

…92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 100!
My brother was coming.

I was hiding behind the curtain.
He looked for me all over the house.
He came into the room where I was hiding.
I was very still.

I was thinking, "He will find me."
Then, he went outside!
I ran out.

I shouted, "You didn't find me!"
