🔎 The Lunchbox Mystery

The three friends look for clues, find a tiny hole in the bag, and finally use a secret camera to catch the thief — a small, hungry mouse! Instead of being angry, the kind detectives help the mouse find a safe new home in a big field. Written entirely in present simple with very short sentences and simple food and everyday vocabulary, this 14-page story is perfect for beginners.
