Key to the Unknown Kevin and Harry had been best friends for as long as either of them could remember. They had lived on the same block since first grade. Although their families were not particularly close, each mother considered the other boy her son. During the summer after the sixth grade, the two boys made a fort about a half-mile into some woods at the edge of town. There was a good trail, one they could ride their bikes on. Near the fort there was a dilapidated, old house, a barn, and chicken coop with its roof caved in. In fact, there were big holes in all the buildings. Although the buildings weren’t totally safe, they were too inviting for two young boys. One day, they were exploring inside the old farmhouse. It was sunny outside, but in certain parts of the house, it was always dark. That’s where they were when Harry stepped on a rotten board and the whole floor gave way beneath him. He screamed as he fell about three feet to the ground. A huge cloud of dust rose from the collapsed floor and covered Harry. Luckily, Kevin was still outside the door of that room, and that floor didn’t collapse. But he was scared that Harry might be injured. "Are you okay? What happened? Where are you?" he yelled into the dust. "I’m right here," Harry coughed. "I’m not hurt or anything." He fanned his arms around to get rid of the dust. Kevin kneeled down and took a look. He reached out his hand to pull Harry up, but instead Harry hunkered down and peered into the dark crawl space below the floor. "Do we still have that flashlight at the fort?" he asked. "Sure do," Kevin said as he rushed off to get it. When he returned he climbed down with Harry, and together they pushed the old flooring aside. The light revealed inches of dust but nothing of much interest. It was kind of creepy because there were some spider webs hanging about. As Kevin started to climb out, his foot knocked against something solid. He directed the light to it, and there was a reflection. He pushed aside the dust to reveal a key! The eyes of both boys grew huge. In their minds they could see the treasure chest the key would open. Harry grabbed the key and both boys clamored out of the hole. As soon as they were standing on something solid they started looking for the lock the key fit. They scoured the place every day for a week, but they never found a lock it fit. Eventually, they hung it up in their fort and jokingly called it the "key to the unknown."
Why do the boys get excited? A. They doubted the flashlight batteries would work. B. They imagine the key will open a treasure chest. C. They believe they have found a secret hiding place. D. They see a big spider that lives near the key.
