Part 2
“Alfie!” you say. You don’t want to be left alone, and he’s acting weird. “Come back!” He looks back a few times and barks, but soon his fluffy, yellow tail is out of sight. You sigh and think, “So much for loyalty.”
You start walking deeper into the field. You’re still mad at Kyle and don’t want to go home just yet. You’re distractedly wondering why Alfie was behaving so strangely when you trip and nearly fall on your face.
At first you think you tripped over a large rock or piece of garbage. After all, the grass is pretty unruly and tall, and sometimes rowdy teenagers leave trash here. But when you look back, you see something glinting in the light of the setting sun — a shiny, metal doorknob covered in strange symbols.
Curious, you lean in closer and can see that it is attached to a wooden door in the ground. The door isn’t very big and it looks old, but the knob looks very new.
You . . .
a) call a friend and tell him/her to come take a look before deciding what to do next.
b) think it
looks pretty cool and you want to look at it later, but for now it’s more important to find gross bugs to stick in your brother’s bed.c) wonder out loud, “Is it safe?” Probably not. Who knows what’s down there! Go about your business and ignore it. It’s probably just a musty, old cellar anyway.
d) take a picture of the doorknob with your phone. Then go home to do some research on the meaning of the symbols.
e) don’t waste any time and open that door! There could be all kinds of cool stuff in there.
