She unstacked the boxes. "I wonder what's in these old boxes," she thought. She carefully unwrapped the tape around the box. She found a hammer, nails, and an item wrapped in cloth.

"These might come in handy," she said with a smile. She unfolded the cloth and uncovered an old picture of her and her family. "I know just where to put this," she said.

"That sounds like hard work. Do you need any help? It sounds unfair that you have to do that by yourself," said Kelly.

"Thanks Kelly, but I think I have it under control now. But I do need to unwind a bit," said Sally.

Kelly nodded. "Let's sit by the river and enjoy the day." So they sat with their paws in the river, listening to the birds and the flowing water. 

After a while, Sally felt much better and rested. "I have to get back to my den," she said. "I still have some things to unpack."
