Leo raced to the playground. There, sitting right under the big oak tree, was his lunchbox. A small squirrel was sniffing the handle, trying to figure out how to open it! His bright blue lunchbox was gone

Ask who the characters are (Leo, Maya, the squirrel) and what the setting is (Sunnyvale Elementary/Playground).
