SUMMARY of the story

One day the twin sisters, Elizabeth and Jessica wake field planned a house-setting Service so that they would have enough money to buy Jessicas favourite blouses and Elizabeths computer game. Their first client was their school principal, Mr. Clark. They will start their work in the afternoon. And in the afternoon, they started to go to Mr. Clarks house and when they got inside, it was very bizarre, a bit weird and garnished well. In the first day of their service, the girls found an ugly shirt from the closet and something clattered on the floor, it was a knife with a blood. They also found blood on the floor in front of the basement door and clumps of hair in one of the basement doors hinges. The hairs were exactly the same with Mrs. Clarks hair, the magnanimous wife of Mr. Clark. They also received a package for mars. Clark. Because of fear, they went home. One morning Mrs. Knight asked Elizabeth for Mr.

Clarks number because Mr. Clark was away from town, but Elizabeth didnt know so Mrs. Knight asked other people. In the afternoon, the girls went again to the Clarks house to work. The paper boy came to collect the bills for 2months because last month he heard a squabble in the Clarks house so he went away to come back next month. But because Mr. Clark was not yet home, Jessica explained to come back some other days, and the paperboy went away. When Jessica went to the Clarks room, it was very messy and she found out that the garbs of Mrs. Clark were there in their closet but Mr. Clarks garbs were not there. Then the phone rang out of the blue. Jessica answered it. The caller was Harry and he said that hell be coming on Friday afternoon to do his job in the basement and he also said that they are not allowed to go inside the basement. Jessica was very curious about what is going on in the Clarks house: they found knife with blood, hair, blood on the floor and why is it that theyre not allowed to go in the basement, what will harry do there? She let her mind work and she made a conclusion: Mr. Clark murdered her wife and left her in the basement and let harry get her body! Jess told Liz about this and she also believed her sister. Jess told her snobbish and silly friends about this add Liz did too to her amiable friends. On Friday afternoon, jess and Liz went to the Clarks house with their friends Mandy and Maria. When harry came, he was just nonchalant. The girls pretended to be doing something in the kitchen. The girls were very scared and stunned. Harry went to the basement and did something for almost two hours. When he was finished, he came out with a very heavy dolly. He told the girls not to go to the basement because it is not yet safe. Harry bumped the dolly into his van. Jess told the girls that maybe it was Mrs. Clark inside the dolly, so they followed harry with their bikes. The van of harry stopped in a hazardous-waste dump and throw the dolly. When he was leaving, he saw the girls and got angry for following him. The girls shrieked and rode their bikes as fast as fast as they could and then they spitted up. Mandy and jess went to the police station using the long way, not the short cut. When they got there, they saw Liz and Maria. Together, they told the policeman about the murder. So they went to the Clarks house. When they got there, they were amazed when they saw Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark with a baby.

Then the girls asked why he not told anyone about his out of town. Mr. Clark said that they came from china and adopted a child. And they not tell anyone because they want to make sure that they would really get the child. Liz asked also about the basement and harry. Mr. Clark said that he hired harry to get or remove the lead paint there. The removal process produces a lot of dust and debits that is not safe. Jess asked again the knife, blood and hairs. Mrs Clark said that she got a call from the agency, because she was very excited, she slipped over by the basement door when she ran and she caught her hair on the door hinge and she cut her leg with a pair of scissors when she fell. The girls now understood. After the fiasco, they asked forgiveness to the policeman, especially to Mr. And Mrs. Clark, but they were forgiven. The twins also told their friend that they said is not true about Mr. Clarks. Then the school celebrated a party for the coming back of the Clark family!

LESSON LEARNED
When we have heard or found out an important information, we should investigate first whether it is true or not and we need to find complete evidence that will prove that the information is true before we judge a person.
