Under the Rug

He saw the figure knocking on the door.....but nobody answered. But he went in anyway. The little boy thought it was time to investigate.
As the man entered he heard doors slamming. He was worried. It was a big three story house. There were at least 20 rooms, so he would not find what he was looking for anytime soon. He started whispering to himself, ‘find the final piece, find the final piece.’ He was running on his tiptoes. Then he started to search.
Meanwhile, the little boy started running across the wet, slippery street. He started to sneak into the house. He started to tip toe upstairs. He looked in all the rooms but he couldn’t find him. BUT then....
Come in to my class. Me and Glen will show you
