The Diamond Necklace
Champak
|September Second 2023
Bani bear's father was a businessman in Champakvan. Bani lived in a luxurious house with her father, Bobo and mother, Bella. She was fond of collecting colourful stones and marbles.
One day, Bobo brought a lovely boat for Bani who started decorating it with her collected stones.
Bani's birthday was coming up, and Bobo had organised a party at home, inviting all the animals of the forest.
On the day of the party, Bani decorated the boat with red-coloured stones in the shape of a heart. To match this, she wore a beautiful red and golden dress.
Bella wore a new diamond necklace for the party but she was having trouble with it as its clasp was loose.
"It needs to be fixed," Bella said to Bobo.
"There's it later," no time today. Wear it and I'll fix he replied.
All the guests arrived and brought gifts for Bani who enjoyed the music and took many selfies with her friends. Everyone praised Bella's necklace, too.
Finally, when they started playing games, Bani noticed her mother's neck and cried out, "Mother, where's your necklace?"
Bella felt her neck and was shocked that her precious diamond necklace had gone missing.
Forest Inspector Wally wolf saw the commotion and stepped in. He said to all the guests, "I will have to search you all. No one can leave the venue."
Bobo protested, "No, Inspector! This will be insulting to my guests."
"Don't interrupt me! Let me do my duty," Wally silenced Bobo.
All the guests were thoroughly searched, but the necklace was not found.
Even after the guests left, they searched the house for the necklace but did not find it.

GRAVE MISTAKES
“Here’s your new school,” Dad said as he pulled over at the gate of Silver Pines School. Courtesy of his dad’s frequent job transfers, Omi is always the new student. This was his fourth school in the last eight years. Standing at the gates of his new school, clutching his bag, he tried not to look nervous. His family had just moved to the town a week ago, and everything still smelled new—new books, new uniform, new trouble.
