Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

### Instruction:
In a school playground, there are three friends: Mia, Ava, and Sophia. Mia brings her favorite blue ball to play with during recess. She leaves it near the swings while she goes to get a drink of water. Meanwhile, Ava finds the blue ball and decides to hide it in the sandbox as a prank. Sophia sees this but doesn't tell Mia. After recess, where will Mia look for her blue ball? Provide a very brief response.

### Response:

Mia left the ball near the swings before she went to get a drink of water. If she is unaware of the prank played by Ava, her first instinct would likely be to search in the location where she left it. So, upon returning from getting water, she will probably look for her blue ball near the swings. Unless Mia has been informed by Sophia or suspects that Ava has moved it, she won't have any reason to look in the sandbox first. Her search pattern from there would depend on various factors such as whether she notices any traces or disturbances in the sandbox, if she sees Ava behaving suspiciously, or if she decides to enlist her friends' help and Sophia chooses to reveal the ball's location. Without such cues, the swings are Mia's starting point based on her last known location of the ball.
