One day, Nora's mom suggested to do some spring cleaning. Nora had walked up the stairs with the duster in her hand. She pulled down a retractable ladder from the ceiling, and climbed up.
The room was dark and dusty, so Nora sneezed. "When was the last time anyone cleaned in here?"
She began to dust off old furniture. She had never been in the attic, so she was amazed on what old antiques were to be in there. While she had been dusting, in the corner of Nora's eye, she saw a beautiful wooden, carved box. She put down the duster, and walked over to the small box. Nora lifted the box off the shelf. While holding the box she sat down on the ground. When Nora had opened the box she found a book and a key beside it.
I wonder why mom had never bothered to bring this down, I mean knowing she loves books. Nora had chuckled and looked at the cover and touching the engravings of it, but there was to be no title at the front of the book. Curiously, Nora flipped to the first page. The minute she started reading the antiqued book she could not let go, she couldn't stop it was as if she was really there.
30 minutes later....
"NORA!!!!" said her annoying little brother,waiting at the bottom of the steps.
"Come down you have been up there for.....a long time."
As soon as Nora's little brother had called she hesitated and had to quickly put away the book back in the box and into the shelf. So she went downstairs, and continued the rest of her chores.
