CHAPTER FOUR
Two brawny men with muscular arms came walking into the kitchen. They were dressed in blue jeans and white T-shirts that said "Rugged Movers" across the front. One of them had black hair covered by a baseball hat, and the other had sandy-colored hair and bright blue eyes. They both had thick beards and friendly, smiling faces.
"Hiya," said the mover with the hat, as he stuck out his hand to introduce himself. "I'm Ben, and this is my partner Donny." He gestured towards the other mover.
Donny squatted down to Emma's eye-level. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Emma," Emma replied shyly.
"Where are you moving to, Emma?" Ben asked.
"Mapleton," said Emma.
"Wow, Mapleton?" Donny's blue eyes flashed. "That's my favorite town I have ever been to!"
Emma smiled.
"Don't worry Emma," said Ben. "We are going to get all your things safely to your new house in Mapleton. Which boxes are yours?"
Emma walked over to her stack of cardboard boxes near the kitchen doorway and pointed. Ben picked the top box up off the pile. It read "Memories" across the side in large red letters.
"What's in here?" Ben asked.
"All my favorite things ever," Emma said.
Ben grinned and hugged the box closely. "I'll guard it with my life," he assured Emma.
Mommy came up behind Emma and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Come on, Emma," she said. "Let's leave the movers to their work and get your bag packed."
