If you haven't read it, here is the link: Mysterious Money! ..... Part - I

Albertan was certain that someone had tried to frame Janet as the thief. Now, Albertan had to undertake another mission of finding who the real thief was. He decided to lay a trap. The next day, he told the whole class that he had a lot of money in his bag. He waited behind the class door as soon as everyone went out for recess that day. After fifteen minutes, his patience proved to be fruitful as he heard footsteps in the school corridor!

As soon as the boy entered, Albertan couldn’t believe his eyes. He rubbed them heard but saw the same vision. A boy was fumbling inside his bag……………………..and he was…………………………………………. No one else than his best friend Randal himself!

Now, Albertan never conversed with Randal, not even after his thousand apologies. Albertan had told the whole true story to Randal’s parents who had punished him severely. Albertan learnt that James had dearly wanted a new mp3 player for which he did not have money and his parents were reluctant to buy it for him.

So when he saw Albertan’s money, his greed took the better hand of him. He stole the money when no one was in class and hid it in his own bag. Albertan, not having the slightest suspicion about his best friend, never checked his bag.

But when Randal learnt that Albertan was deciding to tell the police, he got really scared and in order to remove the suspicion from himself he hid his own money near the dustbin, acting as if it was stolen! It was only he who did the poor act of putting the money in Janet’s desk and found it there himself!

But at last the thief was caught due to Albertan’s wit and intelligence.

Randal was fooled by his trap and walked straight into the lion’s den himself! Albertan learnt that attaining true friendship wasn’t really easy and also saw what greed could do to a small boy like James!

So guys, I would like to mention that after reading many mystery novels written by Nancy Drew, Alfred Hitchcock, Hardy Boys, Sherlock Holmes, Robin Cook & Jeffrey Archer, I had thought of writing one like these great authors and put it before you!! (Oh! what a comparison???)

Accordingly, before you click on the comment’s button, I’d like to remind you that this is my first try at writing a mystery story. Hope you keep this in consideration!
