Magical Shoes Part 4- Mr. Henry
Evan looked in the family bathroom, Mary looked in the living room and Steven searched the kitchen!
They all gathered in the garage with uncommon objects. Evan came with a comb with a piece of paper that said: as you like it, Steven came with a pack of sugar labeled salt, Ella had found a unusual Rubin cube and Mary had found a device which can tell information about you as soon as you hold it. This is what it said for Mary: Mary James born on the 6th of January sister to Steven James and best friend to Ella Jane. “Oh wow!, Ella said. That’s so cool!!!
“What do u think, is this just a normal Rubix?” “Solve it we’ll see” Steven said.
She took out her ipad and put the YouTube video for a Rubix cube, but it came blank.
“Hmmm, i think a scientist would have wanted to make a complex cube, maybe the screen will go blank whenever it is around!” Evan said thoughtfully.
“Maybe.” Ella said.
“Well, then lets try it ourselves and see if it works.” Steven said bringing out a hand for the cube.
Ella handed it to her, Steven twisted it, but it didn’t budge.
“Now what?” Ella asked trying to hide her disappointment.
“I don’t know.” Evan said sighing.
They all had a turn when it reached Evan it glowed. When he tried it moved like nothing had happened. “Whoa!” He said, jumping a bit. Steven told him what to ‘cause he knew how to solve a Rubik’s cube. “Right “Turn, Left turn, front turn, repeat... Steven’s voice echoed through the garage. Done!” And so it was! All the colours matching. The cube broke in half suddenly. A small gem rose from the middle it had a small blinking red light, everyone got really scared and pushed it away from themselves, in that same second they saw a car pulling up in the driveway a man in a black cloak came out. He rang the bell. They heard their mom say “coming!” They ran into the living room to see who it was. The man wore scientist glasses, he had a cap with small helicopter blades at the top. He said, removing his glasses “hi kids, may i talk to you kiddos in the garage for a while, sorry madam i am the house’s previous owner.” “ oh, so you are Mr. Henry who owned this lovely house!” Their mother exclaimed. When they entered the garage Mr. Henry closed the door. They all introduced themselves. Mary and Steven asked him “why are you here?” “Long story we can do that later, right I need to know how you guys solved the cube.” He said, pointing at the halves of the cube. “Oh! it glowed when it came to my brother, Evan here.” Ella said. “Hmmm, interesting, I didn’t create a system for it to glow, hmmmm.” Mr Henry said thoughtfully. He left the garage and the kids could hear muffled voices. The door swung open again and mr Henry asked “ hey Ella is it ok if we go into your room to tell my story, i have asked your mom if we can have some juice and ice cream for a munch!” Soon they were all in her room while slurping ice cream and gulping juice. He began,
I lived in this house with my sister, Annabella (Ann for short) and mom and dad. I went to Hayes Primary School where i was the top science student and built really cool inventions. Like for the science fair i built the walk-in wardrobe for Ann. I won! So i kept building cool things and soon enough i graduated but after a few more years my parents died. And Ann got married to a wealthy man and i left this house but not before i put a test to see if the next owners would understand me, so i made a Rubik’s cube which if a device is near the screen go blank. “Oh I know it from here, Ella interrupted, so then you left the house and we shifted in and solved the cube and a beacon rang and you arrived and told us this entire story.
“Yes, that’s right.” Mr. Henry said.
They finished their snacks and went downstairs, but there was no sign off their parents.
Ella found a note she read: “hey kids, we have gone to the market to get some ice cream. Mr. Henry, it would be a great favour if you could take care of our kids. And don't forget to open the box for a surprise!”
Indeed there was a box on the table right next to the note. Evan opened it and a small puppy jumped out! They decided to name her: Stella! When the night fell, they started to do their usual stuff. But there was a twist they also had to help their new puppy!
The end!
