Detective Ben is at Mrs. Green’s house.
Her keys are missing from the table.
She is worried.

Three people are there: Tom, Lily, and Jack.

Ben looks around.
There is a small puddle near the door.
A chair is moved.
The table is clean except for a cup of tea.

Tom says, “I sit in the living room. I read a book.”
His shoes are dry.

Lily says, “I water the flowers outside.”
Her shoes are wet.

Jack says, “I make a cup of tea. I sit here.”
His shoes are dry.

Ben looks at the door.
The puddle is small.
The floor near the table is dry.

Ben thinks.
Who goes outside? Who has wet shoes?
The keys are near the door, not the table.

Ben smiles.
“Lily,” he says.
“You go outside. You put the keys on the bench. Then they fell in the puddle.”

Lily looks surprised.
“Yes,” she says. “I forgot them there.”

Why Lily?

Step 1: List the clues

1. Keys missing from the table – initial problem.
2. Puddle near the door – something happened near the door.
3. Chair moved – someone interacted with the area.
4. Shoes wet / dry – shows who was outside.
   • Tom: dry
   • Lily: wet
   • Jack: dry
5. Table clean except a cup of tea – keys are not on the table.
6. Floor near table is dry – keys aren’t on the table, hints they went somewhere else.

Step 2: Analyze the statements

• Tom: inside, shoes dry → probably didn’t go outside.
• Jack: inside, shoes dry → also probably didn’t go outside.
• Lily: outside watering flowers, shoes wet → she went outside, near the door/puddle.

Step 3: Look at the location of the keys

• The keys were not on the table, where they normally are.
• There is a puddle near the door → keys probably fell there.

Step 4: Combine clues

• Only Lily went outside (wet shoes).
• Puddle near the door and moved chair indicate someone interacted with the door area.
• Keys ended up in the puddle → Lily must have carried or moved them.

Conclusion:

• Lily is the culprit.
• She went outside with the keys, forgot them on the bench, and they fell into the puddle.

The Case of the Stolen Money

Detective Anna is in a small town. Today, she has a new case. Someone stole money from Mr. Green.

Mr. Green says: “I put 100 dollars on the table. Now it is gone! I need help.”

There are three people in the house:

1. Tom, the gardener. He works in the garden all day.
2. Lily, the cook. She cooks food for Mr. Green.
3. Sam, the cleaner. He cleans the house every day.

Detective Anna asks them questions.

• Tom says: “I work outside. I do not see the money.”
• Lily says: “I cook in the kitchen. I do not take money.”
• Sam says: “I clean the house. I see nothing. I do not take money.”

Anna looks for clues. She sees:

• The table is near the window. The window is open.
• There are footprints on the floor. Big footprints.
• There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.
• A chair is near the window. The chair has dust under it.

Anna asks more questions:

• Tom wears big shoes. Lily wears small shoes. Sam wears medium shoes.
• Tom does not eat chocolate. Lily eats chocolate every day. Sam eats chocolate sometimes.
• Tom is tall. Lily is short. Sam is medium height.

Anna thinks carefully. She looks at the footprints. They are big. She looks at the chocolate. Someone ate it. She looks at the chair. The dust is moved.

Anna says: “The person who stole the money is near the table. The person left big footprints. The person eats chocolate.”

Who stole the money?

You got it? You solved the case?

We have three suspects:

1. Tom – big shoes, does not eat chocolate, works outside.
2. Lily – small shoes, eats chocolate every day, works in the kitchen.
3. Sam – medium shoes, eats chocolate sometimes, cleans the house.

Clues:

• Footprints on the floor are big → matches Tom.
• There is chocolate eaten → matches Lily and Sam, not Tom.
• Table is near the window, chair moved, dust moved → person was near the table and window.

Now combine:

• The thief left big footprints → Tom.
• The thief ate chocolate → only Lily or Sam.

Notice the conflict: Tom has big shoes but does not eat chocolate.
The chocolate clue shows the thief ate chocolate, so it is not Tom.
Sam’s shoes are medium → footprints too small.
Lily’s shoes are small → footprints too small.

But the footprints are big, and someone ate chocolate → this is tricky!

Look at the text carefully:

• The footprints were big and the chocolate was on the table, not necessarily eaten by the thief.
• The chocolate clue says: “There is a small piece of chocolate on the table.”
• Tom does not eat chocolate, but the chocolate is left there → it’s not about eating, just a clue to the table.

So the main clues for the thief:

1. Big footprints → Tom.
2. Near the table / window / chair → yes, Tom could reach it.
3. Chocolate is just a distraction.

✅ Solution: Tom stole the money.

Why:

• Only Tom has big shoes, which match the footprints.
• The thief must have been near the table → the window is open, footprints lead from the table → Tom had access.
• The chocolate clue was meant to distract the reader.

_____________________

Vocabulary:

• a suspect → a person who might have done something wrong
• to match somebody/something → to look good together or be the same as something
• a thief (plural: thieves) → a person who steals things
• tricky → difficult or not easy
• necessarily → it must happen; it is needed
• to lead from the table → to take someone away from the table (like in a game or meal)
• to have access → to be able to use or reach something
• to distract → to take someone’s attention away from something

The Missing Necklace

It is Monday morning. Detective Kim is in her office. Suddenly, Mrs. Lee comes in.

“My necklace is gone!” she says. “It was on the table in my living room.”

Detective Kim asks some questions.

“Who was in your house yesterday?”
Mrs. Lee thinks. “My son, my daughter, and the neighbor came.”

Detective Kim goes to the house. She sees three people:

• The son says, “I was in my room all day.” He looks nervous.
• The daughter says, “I helped my mother in the kitchen.” She smiles.
• The neighbor says, “I was reading in the garden.” She looks calm.

Detective Kim looks at the table. She sees:

• A cup of tea.
• A small footprint.
• A pen.

Detective Kim asks, “Who is the necklace for?”
Mrs. Lee says, “It is very small. Only a woman can wear it.”

Detective Kim thinks. She asks one question again: “Who wears shoes in the house?”

• The son always wears shoes.
• The daughter does not wear shoes.
• The neighbor wears shoes.

Detective Kim smiles. She knows who took the necklace.

_____________________

Vocabulary:

• A purse – a small bag for money, keys, and small things.
• To get a call – someone phones you.
• A cleaner (person) – a person who cleans houses or rooms.
• To look calm – to not show worry or fear; to look relaxed.

• To look busy – to look like you are working or doing something important.
• A pen – a small thing to write with.
• A scarf – a long cloth to wear around the neck.
• To wear rings – to have rings on your fingers.

##############

Solve the case:

The thief is the daughter.

Detective Hana thinks carefully:

1. The sofa is in the living room. The daughter says, “I was reading in the living room.” This is the same place as the purse. She had the opportunity.
2. The friend is in the kitchen. She drinks tea. She is far from the sofa. She cannot take the purse easily.
3. The cleaner cleans the bathroom and kitchen. She does not touch the living room much.
4. The pen is on the floor. The daughter writes sometimes. The friend and cleaner do not write. This is a clue that the daughter was near the sofa.
5. The rings: Only women wear rings. The cleaner does not wear rings, so she is less likely to take something from Mrs. Park, who is a woman.
6. The daughter looks calm. But sometimes, when people are nervous, they try to look calm.

All the clues together show:

• The daughter was near the purse.
• She can write, like the pen clue.
• She wears rings, like Mrs. Park mentioned.
• The other people cannot reach or do not match the clues.

Detective Hana asks the daughter again. She admits: “I took the purse. I wanted to see the phone. I am sorry.”

The case is solved. The purse goes back to Mrs. Park.

  (NO __do__ or __does__!)
• Who does … help? → action → Who does he help?
• What is …? → thing / person → What is this?
• What does … do? → action / job → What does she do?
