Excerpt
"So you're really interested in the Temple Treasure," Rivit asked Michael.
"You bet! Do you know something about it?"
"Not the treasure, but I know something about the Temple. My great, great, great, great grandfrog is on the wall. Want to see him?"
"OK. How about tomorrow? I want to see the Temple, anyway, and you can show me around." Michael thought a moment. "How about if I get Suzie, my sister, to come along too? She knows lots of stuff about temples and treasures and Egypt. She helps my Mom on the dig out in the desert near here."
"Sure, I'll meet you at the Temple, tomorrow."
The next day Rivit took Michael and Suzie on the grand tour of Seti's Temple.
"Here he is," said Rivit. "My great, great, great, great grandfrog Crocus. He was a pet of Seti who was a great Pharaoh, or King."
"Seti was a boy when he knew Crocus, but he never forgot and put him here on the tomb wall."
"Well, then I think he is probably more than your great, great, great, great grandfrog," Suzie said. "That was almost 3000 years ago. By the way, did you know Seti had red hair like Michael's?"
"Yeah? Red hair, huh! Anyway, I knew it was a long time ago and I used to say all those 'great's', but it took all day."
"So, my family's been hopping around at the Temple Lake and down by the Nile ever since. Sometimes we come in here for crickets. Yes, tasty crunchy crickets. You have to watch out for the snakes though; no place for a frog to hide in here."
"Don't worry, Rivit, I'll protect you. You're related to a celebrity frog." Michael pointed to Crocus painted on the wall.
"That's me, a Favorite Frog of the Pharaoh!"
