F. Writing
Yesterday, Sherlock Holmes and I visited a quiet house in London to investigate a theft. Holmes immediately noticed mud on the carpet, a wet umbrella and a small mark near the window. He deduced that the thief had entered during the rain and owned a dog. I was surprised that such tiny details revealed the whole story. By evening, the stolen jewels were found under a loose floorboard.
