The Case about Charlie’s Owl 2
First, I talk
with the fat woman. “Charlie is your neighbor, right?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“Do you know he
has an owl?”
“Yes, I know
that. That owl is very stupid, it always shouts very loudly at night, it almost
wake me up every night! Of course I don’t like it, I don’t think you will like
it too.”
“Well, thank you
for your help.” I said, than I talk to the musician. “Do you like your
neighbor, Charlie’s owl?”
“Of course I
like it! It can sing the most beautiful song in the world, which always gives
me many inspirations. Why would I hate it? I like it very much.”
Finally I asked
the biologist the same question.
“I like it, I
like every animal in the world.” He said, “I’m a biologist, I won’t hate or
hurt any animal.”
I went back to
my seat and sat down, looking at the cage. It was still there, nothing
happened. I didn’t stop for even one second. It made me tired and I fell
asleep.
I slept a while
and then woke up. I felt very hungry, and asked the conductor for some snacks.
Sleeping and eating made me focused on the case.
I started
thinking, in these three guys, “only the fat woman hates Charlie’s owl, but
maybe the musician or the biologist are lying, maybe they didn’t tell the truth”.
No way out, I was puzzled.
I looked at the
cage again. “It’s not so easy to be an owl’s bodyguard,” I said to myself. I
stood up and looked for the three guys. They were still seated, and didn’t move
at all.
Suddenly, I
thought I should find out if the owl is still in the cage. I took away the
blanket on the cage.
Nothing in it!
Absolutely empty!
