“That’s a good question, Tim,” said Mrs. Peters. “Men and women called archaeologists dig through ancient ruins to find them. They have found palaces and whole buried cities complete with the people who lived there and all their supplies. It just needs to be dug up very carefully That’s how they find dinosaur bones too.”

“When we get home, I’m going to dig in my backyard,” said Tim. “I might find some valuable stuff I could sell to this museum, and then I’d be rich.”

“There are no mummies or palaces or ancient ruins in this country,” scoffed Roger.

“There could be,” said Mr. Duff. “We don’t know for sure who was here thousands of years ago. Tim might find a mummy or two, but they’d be buried pretty deep. He’d need a pretty big shovel!”

“Mrs. Peters, I’m hungry!” said Sonny.

The other Pee Wees groaned. “How can he think of food when we’re looking at these old dead mummies?” asked Mary Beth.

“Well,” said Mrs. Peters, looking at her watch, “we can get you something at the snack bar downstairs, and then we’ll have to move on to the dinosaur room. Time is flying.”

When they got to the snack bar, they all stood in line. Sonny got a hot dog, and the others had soda pop.

“How do you know that hot dog didn’t come from some old tomb?” said Roger to Sonny. “It could be a million years old!”

“They didn’t have hot dogs a million years ago,” said Rachel. “Anyone who knows history knows that.”

Roger made a face at Rachel.

On the way out of the snack bar, Molly noticed a man leaning against the pop machine. He was reading a newspaper. He looked familiar.

“It’s him!” whispered Tim to Molly. “Look! It’s the crook with the shifty eyes from the hotel!”
