Read the story and then answer questions 1 to 6.

Nandi needed a secret hiding place for her diary. She looked around her bedroom
carefully, She did not really have much hiding space in her roorn. She needed a
really safe place ~ so she decided to hide her diary under her bed.

One afternoon, when Nandi came back from school, she found her diary lying
wide open on the floor of her bedroom. “Someone has been reading my diary!"
she shouted. Nandi found a brown hair trapped between the pages. “Look, it's a
clue. The diary reader must have brown hair, but everybody in my family has

black hair. So, who could it be?” Nandi was puzzled bes

She decided to set a trap. She put her diary back under her bed. She took
some of her special baby powder and sprinkled it on the floor next to her bed.
If anyone came near her diary, she'd find Footprints in the powder. Nandi left

the room, hid around the corner and waited!

Suddenly, she heard scratching noises coming from her bedroom. She ran back
into her room. Powdery paw prints covered her wooden floor. Zola, her dog,

was playing with the diary! Nandi could not believe her eyes.

So, Zola was the diary reader! Next time, Nandi will have to find a better

hiding place.
