Beneath the desert sea lies a city of golden towers, and in it a door that had never been opened.
1Kings had pushed it. Sharks had bumped it. A very determined lobster had pinched it for a year.
2Queen Sands swam up and read the words carved above it: I open for the one who gives, not takes.
3So she took off her finest golden bracelet and set it gently on the step as a gift.
4The door swung wide. Inside was no treasure at all, only a room full of lost things waiting to go home.
5Sands has been returning them ever since. If you have lost something, she may be carrying it.
