Chapter 7
Listen to the Story
It is Thursday morning. Maya is cleaning her café. Eric is washing his cups in the kitchen. The silver key is on the counter. Maya looks at it again and again.
“This is not my key,” she says quietly. “Where is my real café key?”
Eric shrugs. “Maybe the man has your key. Maybe this silver one is his.”
Maya shakes her head. “But why is his key here? And why is my key gone?”
Anna walks into the café. She is holding her umbrella. “Good morning,” she says. “Are you two okay?”
Maya shows her the silver key. “This is not our key. A man from the forest brings it. He wants a box.”
Anna looks surprised. “A box? What box?”
Anna laughs nervously. “Well… maybe the box is important. Maybe it is their family box.”
Maya looks at the forest through the window. The trees are quiet. The man in the grey coat is not there today.
“I want my key back,” Maya says. “And I want answers.”
Eric nods. “We can look for the box later. But first, we need to find your café key.”
Maya holds the silver key in her hand. It feels cold again.
“Whose key is this?” she whispers.
No one answers.
