The Explorers Find Treasure
- Jessie is up bright and early to tidy up. She goes to retrieve the milk from the "refrigerator," which is a cold nook in the waterfall.
- The nook worked, and the milk is ready to drink. Over breakfast, Henry tells the group he plans to go into town and find work.
- Henry sets off for town, promising to be back by lunchtime.
- Jessie leads the other two children on a treasure hunt, and with that, they set off to find a dump.
- Benny wants to know if the stuff at the dump really qualifies as treasure. Good question, Benny.
- Benny also wants to know if there will be wheels at the dump. This seems oddly specific, but Violet thinks there probably will be.
- Watch is still hopping around on three legs, but he's in high spirits. He likes the Boxcar Children.
- The kids walk for a while and finally find a dump, which is conveniently filled with wheels and dishes.
- The kids gather some of the dishes. Benny has four wheels and a pink cup that he declares as his.
- Everyone makes their way back to camp, where Jessie washes the dishes using soap and sand. When Henry returns, they'll boil some water to rinse everything a final time.
- Violet has spotted some pegs in the boxcar on which they can build a shelf. Once they do, Jessie arranges the dishes and some flowers on the new shelf to make the boxcar more homey. She's very pleased with herself.
- Here's Henry. He's carrying all sorts of stuff, but he won't reveal what he has yet.
- The children tell Henry about their big day at the dump, and then Henry builds a fire so they can boil water to rinse the dishes.
