Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Nick who lived in the small town of Waxhaw, North Carolina with his Mom and his Dad. Nick loved to play outside with his good friends. They always had fun together.

One day when Nick was outside alone without his friends, Nick had the idea of going down to the river and exploring all the exciting things that were down there

When Nick was down by the river, he saw something shining in the water that looked very exciting.

What is that?

Nick went over to the shiny object and picked it up out of the water. He was very surprised when he picked up and giant pearl necklace!

I wonder who's this could be?

Nick looked at the necklace in awe. He had never seen anything so beautiful in his life! He had a decision to make however...what to do with the necklace?
