Fatima was thrilled to be the lead actress in her school's play. She had spent weeks rehearsing her lines and dreaming about the elaborate costume she would wear on stage. But on the day of the big performance, disaster struck - the costumes had vanished!

Fatima and her best friend Sarah started investigating immediately. They searched the school hallways, the auditorium, and even the drama club room, but there was no sign of the missing costumes. The other students were getting worried, and the teacher in charge of the play was starting to panic.

Just as Fatima was about to give up hope, Sarah had an idea. "What if the costumes were stolen?" she whispered. The two girls decided to turn their investigation into a real-life mystery.

They started questioning the other students, looking for any clues or suspicious behavior. Finally, they discovered that the school janitor had been seen acting strangely near the drama club room the night before the play.

Fatima and Sarah confronted the janitor, who at first tried to deny any involvement. But when they threatened to call the principal, he finally confessed that he had taken the costumes, hoping to sell them and make some extra money.

Thanks to their detective work, Fatima and Sarah were able to recover the missing costumes just in time for the school play. The performance was a huge success, and Fatima even won an award for her outstanding acting. The mystery of the missing play costumes had been solved!
