Frank’s whole class was out on a school excursion to the museum. As he wandered around, Frank spied a room with a sign on it. It read: ‘No entry without permission.’ Frank looked around. No one was watching him. He quietly turned the door handle. It opened easily. Frank slipped in. The room contained a number of figures, bandaged from top to bottom. Frank went closer and read a label that said, ‘Mummy from Egypt’. Suddenly, two white hands shot out and held Frank. The rolls of white bandage wound around him. They went around his eyes and nose, until he could breathe no more. Frank had almost fainted, when someone called out his name. Disturbed, the mummy slackened its grip. Frank wriggled out and ran out of the door. “Where were you, and what’s that bandage on your face?” said his teacher. Frank touched his face. The bandage was still there! He vowed never again to open doors that said: ‘No entry without permission.’
