This drawing contains a sequence of five drawings demonstrating the Sally–Anne task. The first drawing shows Sally, who has a basket, and Anne, who has a box. In the second drawing, Sally is shown holding a marble, and placing it in her basket. In the third drawing, Sally closes the basket and leaves the room. In the fourth drawing, Anne then removes the marble from the basket and puts it in the box instead. Then in the final drawing, Sally returns to the room. Text in the drawing explains that she wants to play with her marble, and asks 'Where will she look for it?'.
