The children were playing hide and seek. Simran, the youngest them, was tired of playing among and felt sleepy

Raisa, Ali, and Shaun told Simran, "Go hide somewhere in the house, and we will find you." 

Simran replied, "Close your eyes first."

The children obeyed and closed their eyes. Simran went to the room upstairs where no one usually went.

There, near a wardrobe, she curled and sat, and fell asleep in no time. She was tiny, and the furniture was huge, so even if someone came into the room, she was not easily visible.

Meanwhile, the three children started searching for Simran, checking all the rooms, the courtyard, the corridor, and the balcony, but they couldn't find her.

They went to the room upstairs, too, but still could not find Simran. They suspected that Simran had gone to hide outside the house.

They came out of the house and searched everywhere else.
