19. The Mystery of the Third Floor Locks
One day I arrived to school in the morning and the hall of the third floor was crazy. All high school girls were running desperately trying to find their locks. All the locks had moved to another locker! At first, we tried to help them settle down, but it was really difficult to find the key owner of each lock. Thankfully, with Miss Paula’s help, we were able to solve the problem. At the end of the day, each student had found her lock and had placed it in her own locker.

20. The next day, the same happened
The next day, the same happened. The teachers were trying to find an answer to this mystery. For this reason, with Miss Paula we decided to spy. That night we stayed in school at night and realized what was going on. When everything was dark and no lights were on, the lockers’ locks were opened and began flying through the hall. In that moment, Miss Paula turned the lights on and the locks stopped flying and fell to the floor. We figured out that every time the lights were on, locks would not move. In the end, the problem was solved by having an emergency light on through the night.
