Socks disappeared [0:12] Speaker 1: from the washing machine, pencils vanished from her school bag, [0:16] Speaker 1: and her favorite pink hairbrush had been missing for three [0:19] Speaker 1: whole weeks. Her dad said she was simply untidy, but [0:23] Speaker 1: Mia was convinced there was a much more interesting explanation. [0:28] Speaker 1: One Saturday morning, while searching beneath her bed for a [0:31] Speaker 1: missing trainer, Mia discovered something very unusual. There was a [0:36] Speaker 1: tiny wooden door in the skirting board, no bigger than [0:40] Speaker 1: a postcard. It had a golden handle, a little brass knocker, [0:44] Speaker 1: and a sign that read, Lost Property Department. Please knock politely. Well, [0:50] Speaker 1: that's strange, Mia whispered. She tapped three times on the door. [0:55] Speaker 1: A little voice shouted, We're closed! But I haven't even [0:59] Speaker 1: told you what I want! We're still closed! Mia folded [1:03] Speaker 1: her arms. I've lost my pink hairbrush, three socks, and [1:07] Speaker 1: a silver bracelet. I think you might have them. There [1:11] Speaker 1: was a sudden clattering sound, followed by a loud crash. [1:15] Speaker 1: The door swung open, revealing a tiny man with an [1:18] Speaker 1: enormous ginger mustache, a blue sailor's hat, and a waistcoat [1:23] Speaker 1: covered in pockets. Did you say three socks? He gasped. Yes, why? Oh, [1:30] Speaker 1: crumbs and custard! That's worse than I thought! Before Mia [1:34] Speaker 1: could reply, the little man grabbed her finger and pulled. Somehow, [1:39] Speaker 1: she began shrinking. Her bedroom grew taller and taller until [1:43] Speaker 1: her bed looked like a mountain and her slippers resembled [1:47] Speaker 1: enormous furry boats.
