Today we found this penny when we were taking a walk in the beautiful sunny weather (67 degrees F here today). We is me (Peggy) and two of my grandkids. We found this at about 30th Street and Whitton in Phoenix, Arizona.
When we saw the penny in the street, we were looking for small green balls (maybe pellets of some sort from a toy gun???). I scooped up the penny, and we went on our way. Earlier my grandson had noticed one green ball then a few steps later we saw another so he decided we needed to solve the mystery of why there were green balls scattered in the neighborhood. Later we came across the following clues:
- smears of pink chalk on a sidewalk
- a piece of popcorn
- a puzzle piece
- and a small pile of the green balls, some smashed
We deduced that a child lives in one of the houses around where we saw the clues.
