Chapter 1: Who stole the mangoes?
"Stop right there!" Our neighbor Mr. Sharma’s voice boomed across the garden fence like a thunderclap.
I dropped my book and ran to the window. There was my little sister, Maya, standing frozen in the grass while Mr. Sharma pointed a shaky finger at his prize-winning mango tree.
"Another three are gone!" he shouted. "And I saw you playing right here yesterday!"
I knew Maya didn't do it, but I needed proof—and fast. Mr. Sharma warned Maya that if she stole the mangoes once again, he would take action. I ran to protect Maya, brought her home. I knew she had not done this. She burst into tears, insisting that she didn't steal the mangoes. I calmed her and assured her but what we needed was a proof to prove her innocence.
Chapter 2:The Investigation Begins
The next day, we both dressed as detectives went to the mango tree before dawn.To my surprise, I found sticky mango pits leading away from the tree, but they didn't go towards my house—they went straight back to Mr. Sharma's house.
I snapped a picture with my camera. I was still wondering: why would a thief leave clues leading to the victim's door?
Later at the breakfast table I brainstormed regarding this with my "junior detective," Maya. She came up with a plan. She suggested that we hide behind a large bush with a flashlight at midnight and record all that happens near the tree. I agreed with Maya's plan.
Chapter 3:The Midnight Unveils
That night, we hid behind a large bush.

| Mr. Sharma walking to his mango orchard! |
For about half an hour there was no movement, but then the back door of Mr. Sharma’s house creaked open. Mr. Sharma walked out in his pajamas, eyes wide open but staring blankly.
He came near the tree, reached up, plucked a giant mango, peeled it with his hands, and ate it while humming a song. We had never seen him like this. Blank facial expressions and humming a song was a strange combination.
We recorded this strange behaviour of Mr.Sharma from my special detective nightvision camera.
Chapter 4: Mystery Ends!
Before sleeping at night I told Maya that I thought Mr.Sharma has some thing wrong so we decided to visit the doctor. Next morning after hurriedly finishing our breakfast we went to Dr.Zople,a sleep specialist. We showed him the video clip and told him all about this.He was curious and eager to meet this man.So he accepted our request and immediately came to our home for the diagnosis of Mr.Sharma. We told him to wait there as we knew that in sometime he would come shouting like yesterday.Just as we thought,Mr.Sharma came shouting"Maya you again!! I will take strict action now!"We called Mr.Sharma to come inside our home to meet a special person who had come to meet him.There in front of Dr.Zople we showed Mr.Sharma the special clip.
Dr.Zople interwiewed Mr.Sharma and did a quick examination.Mr. Sharma turned red with embarrassement as he realized he had been "stealing" from himself in his sleep.
Mr. Sharma apologized to Maya and gave her a giant basket of mangoes as a peace offering.After that day Maya continues to play in the backyard without any fear and Mr.Sharma never turned as he had already started treatment by Dr.Zople.
Moral:Do not make judement hastily without knowing the complete truth.
