The Mystery of the Missing Money

 


Rea has a lot of money. She hides the money in a box under her bed. One day Rea comes home from school and the money is missing. She looks everywhere but she can’t find the money or the box. Rea investigates the robbery.

 She looks for clues in her bedroom. She finds an English book. Rea has English class every Thursday. Her teacher is John. She asks her English teacher if it is his book.

“Is this your English book?” Rea asks her teacher.

“Yes, that is my book. Thank you,” her teacher says.

“Is that a new watch?” Rea asks her teacher. “It looks expensive. Where did you get the money to buy that expensive watch?”

 The expensive watch is another clue in the mystery. Rea thinks that her teacher is the thief.

 Her teacher says that he can’t come to class next week because he is going on holiday. He is going to Paris.

 “How can you go on holiday? It is expensive to travel to France. Why do you suddenly have so much money?” Rea asks her teacher.

Now her teacher is very nervous. He is thinking.

 “I won a lot of money in the fruit machine at the café. I won two hundred euros.”

 “That is very interesting, because my box of money is missing and I had exactly two hundred euros in the box,” Rea says.

 Rea is very angry. She knows that John is the thief. Rea calls the police. Two police officers arrive quickly.
