Nishant had kept his keys inside the bag that was next to the book on the table. But now it wasn’t there. So Nishant looked all over the house. He looked for it on the television shelf, under the sofa set, under the shoe rack and in the kitchen cupboard. But no luck. He looked for it outside the house too. He looked for it among the bushes that grew beneath the window, and even between the two pots that were placed under the tree. No keys anywhere. All this searching had made Nishant very hot and sweaty. He put his hand into his pocket to take out a handkerchief. And guess what? The keys were there!
