The Mystery of the Secret Trap Door

Jack was very bored even though he had many toys. He went into the backyard and saw his friends cycling. They went cycling by the roadside, when a car zoomed past them. They wondered why the man was in such a hurry.

Jack said, “Let’s follow that car.”

They cycled quickly, and caught up. The car lead to a seemingly abandoned house. The man went inside and came out in no time. When the car left, the children went inside. There was an old mirror, a glass window, and a closed room door. They didn’t find anything, so they left the house.

However, Jack felt something fishy in the house. He went to bed thinking. The next morning, he called his friends, Lucy and George, to go to the house again. Lucy and George wondered what was going on in his mind, but they went to the house again.

Lucy asked, “Why have you called us to the house?”

Jack said, “I felt something fishy about this house. So, I thought we should explore it a bit further.”

They went into the house. This time when they went, the window broke, and jack got a scratched his arm. Then, the door opened without anyone touching it. Next, a trap door opened beneath the three friends’ feet! They fell with a “thud”. The area under the trapdoor was very dark. There was something shiny on the ground. Lucy and George wanted to see it, but told Jack to stay back. Jack refused, and came along with them.

It was a key, which lead to a passage! There was a box which opened using the key. There was gold in it. They got out and took it to the police station, they were awarded with many gifts. They were happy.
