Solution
I like mysteries that are not dangerous and frightening. The stores like what we have read just now are good to listen to with no negative or criminal mind at work. Stories, where boys try to hunt the treasure and land themselves in the mysterious surrounding, search for the treasure with a lot of difficulties for a long time and finally succeed are interesting to read.

Thomas Alva Edison stepped from a train in Orange, New Jersey and walked down the platform. The station master knew how forgetful the famous inventor was. Therefore, he would always ask him a customary question. He asked Edison if he had left anything behind. Edison confidently replied that he had not left anything and everything was safe with him. Then, he began taking a count of his suitcases. As he was doing so, he happened to look up at the train. With a start, he dropped his bags and raced back to the car in which he had been travelling. What prompted that burst of activity was the face of his bride, with whom he had just married and returned from a honeymoon trip, staring from a window.
