anything. Let me see...

peanut butter
sandwich,]]
an apple, some carrots,
and a banana. Okay.
Everything's here.]]
Hey, where's my
peanut butter sandwich?]]
My sandwich has got to be
around here somewhere.
Maybe it's under this rock.]]
Monkey, have you seen my
peanut butter sandwich?

But I will help you
look for it.]]
It's not up
in this tree!]]
Lion, have you
seen my peanut

either!]]

Excuse me, Rhino. But why is there
