Theft


Oh No! My things have been stolen!
My instruments are lost!
Here I am sitting, thinking and worried.
Wait! Here is a clue!
Now I will search!
I know my items will be found.

At home, notifying mom and dad leaves them worried.
I tell them that the instruments will be found.
Mom thinks for a bit and asks for any information and clues.
Mom asks me if anything else was stolen.
I tell her that my hat and gloves were also lost.
Mom then e-mails my Dean to help me search.

The next day; I tell my Dean what I need to find.
I share details on what was stolen.
We discuss how we will search.
He asks when the items were lost.
He asks me for information and clues.
He tells me at the end, not to worry.

Later thinking I have a suspect, I go on a search.
Telling myself over and over not to worry,
I ask him if he had found anything “lost”.
He denies any information, so I tell him to inform my dean about anything he finds.
I ask again if there is anything he “stole”.
He denies everything, which leaves me with no new clues.

Now I am lost…
I have no new clues…
Nothing related has been found…
I don’t know where to search…
Why would that person steal? ...
I go to sleep worried…

I wake up worrying…
I ask my Dean about the search.
About my items that are stolen…
Yes! Using new clues…
Thanks to a tip…my things are found!!!
In the woods, nothing of mine was lost!
