A massive search for two 10- year old girls ended at 8:30 p.m. Monday where they were found near a grocery store in a south Burnaby strip mall. Deanna Lloyd and Chloe Zhu were reported missing from Captain James Cook elementary school in Vancouver at about 12:30 p.m. Police, police dogs, and residents searched the area ground around the school . Police have said they ran away intentionally and that they were planning a "fake kidnapping."

What I learned from this story is that even children are thinking in a grown up way. At 10-years-old I was never thinking about planning a "fake kidnapping" or ever running away. I wouldn't have even been brave enough to run and hide like these two girls. It's very interesting to see how different elementary students are today than what they used to be like.

I enjoyed how the journalist used the inverted pyramid and put all the important facts in the beginning. The article was very short but it told me who they were, where they were found, what they did, somewhat why they did it and when they were found. I enjoyed this story very much.
