NAME:
On the street where Pedro lived, there was an abandoned house that always aroused his curiosity. One day, he decided to explore it. Upon entering, he found an intriguing scene: dusty furniture, cobwebs and an old painting on the wall.
Curious, Pedro examined the painting and found an envelope hidden behind it. Inside the envelope, there was a letter with a riddle written on it. Pedro spent hours deciphering the riddle and realized that it led to a specific location in the house's garden. There, he dug and found an old safe. With the right combination, the safe opened revealing an old photograph and a diary.
The photograph showed unknown people in period costumes, while the diary contained notes about life in that house. Pedro realized that he had uncovered a little of the history of the abandoned house and the people who lived there.
