One morning an old fashioned steamer trunk washes up on the shore.
Phew!!!
Inside are five items & amazingly they are just the five items you would choose to be in a trunk if it was bobbing by. So, there's a book, an iPod with 1 album on it, 1 flask of beverage, 1 meal and 1 luxury item.
What would your five items be?
