He collects clues, finds a strand of hair left behind, and searches widely—through forests, mountains, and plains—to identify the thief and unravel the hidden secret behind the event.","The Mystery of the Disappearing Lightbulbs  \nAuthor: Mervat Al-Beltagi Illustrator: Maya Abboud  \nEnglish  \nThe Mystery of the Disappearing Lightbulbs  \nWritten by Mervat Al-Beltagi.  \nImages by Maya Abboud. © Asafeer Education Technologies FZ LLC, 2018.

Do you know what happened?  \nOne mysterious night all the lightbulbs disappeared. No not only in my house, they disappeared from the entire village.  \nIt was dark everywhere.  \nIt was terrible and horrible. We felt frightened.  \nWe searched everywhere but we couldn’t find the lightbulbs.  \nThe village people had a meeting to discuss the disappearing of our lightbulbs.  \nThey asked,“Where are our lightbulbs? Who stole them and why?”  \nI thought of a solution to this mystery.  \nThere has to be a great secret behind this. I’ll have to find out who stole the lightbulbs.  \nEvery thief must leave evidence behind.  \nI put on my Sherlock Holmes hat, got a magnifying glass  \nand started searching all over.  \nWhen I arrived at my window sill, I felt so victorious and yelled,“Got it!”  \nIt was a long black thick strand of hair. I yelled,“The thief left behind this strand of hair. It must belong to him. I’ll have to find him. I wonder who he is?”  \n“It might be a monkey! It might be a deer! It might be a giant ogre!  \nAn ogre? Oh no! I’m terrified.”  \nAnyways, I’ll calm down and be brave. I held my magnifying glass and looked at the ground to follow any other clue the thief left.  \nI searched and searched. I climbed mountains and descended plains.  \nI passed the forest without finding anyone having the same hair strand.  \nI was so exhausted, so I stopped to rest, when suddenly I saw something shining from far away.","cbCaicVVPtdevpeb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicVVPtdevpeb","pdf",1030351,25,"English","en",105,"# The Mysterious Disappearance\n## The Village’s Meeting\n## Zed’s Detective Investigation","[{\"question\":\"What happens to the lightbulbs in the story?\",\"answer\":\"All the lightbulbs disappear across the entire village, leaving everything dark and frightening.\"},{\"question\":\"Who narrates the investigation?\",\"answer\":\"Zed narrates the events and searches for clues to find out who stole the lightbulbs.\"},{\"question\":\"What clue does Zed find during the search?\",\"answer\":\"Zed discovers a long black thick strand of hair, which he believes belongs to the thief.\"}]",1784315580,39,{"code":4,"msg":29,"data":30},"ok",{"site_id":23,"language":22,"slug":31,"title":13,"keywords":32,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":84,"head_meta":86,"extra_data":88,"updated_unix":26},"the-mystery-of-the-disappearing-lightbulbs-story","",{"@graph":34,"@context":83},[35,52,66],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/the-mystery-of-the-disappearing-lightbulbs-story/92363/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":22,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":60,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":61,"interactionStatistic":62},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-17",true,{"@type":63,"interactionType":64,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":65},"ViewAction",{"@type":67,"mainEntity":68},"FAQPage",[69,75,79],{"name":70,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":72},"What happens to the lightbulbs in the story?","Question",{"text":73,"@type":74},"All the lightbulbs disappear across the entire village, leaving everything dark and frightening.","Answer",{"name":76,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":77},"Who narrates the investigation?",{"text":78,"@type":74},"Zed narrates the events and searches for clues to find out who stole the lightbulbs.",{"name":80,"@type":71,"acceptedAnswer":81},"What clue does Zed find during the search?",{"text":82,"@type":74},"Zed discovers a long black thick strand of hair, which he believes belongs to the thief.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":85,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":87,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":23},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":90},[91,94,98,102,107,112,117,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":92,"slug":93},90,"story-novel",{"id":45,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":95,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":97},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":51,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":99,"show_sort_weight":100,"slug":101},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":103,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":104,"show_sort_weight":105,"slug":106},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":108,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":44,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
