One day, a group of kids decided to make a candle for the church. They wanted to make it special so everyone could remember their visit there. When they got to the church, they found out that the worship service was going on and they couldn't disturb it. They thought they could bury the candle in the church yard until the service was over. But when they dug a hole, they found a buried treasure! They were so excited they forgot all about the candle. They worshiped and thanked God for their blessing and then went home to plan how they would spend the treasure. The next Sunday, they brought the treasure to the church as an offering and everyone was amazed. They all remembered the story of the kids and the buried treasure, but no one ever knew what happened to the candle.

3. What did they find when they dug a hole in the church yard?
4. How did they feel when they found the treasure?
5. What did they do with the treasure?
6. How did the other people react when they saw the treasure?
