The Missing Key

Grace was ready to leave for dinner, but she could not find her key. She looked in her bag, under the sofa, and beside the door. Her brother waited outside. Then Grace remembered wearing a different coat that morning.

The key was in that coat's pocket. Grace called her brother and said she would be ready in two minutes. Before leaving, she put a small bowl on the table near the door.

Now Grace puts her key in the bowl when she comes home. Sometimes she forgets, so she also checks her coat before looking everywhere else. The bowl is useful, but she still needs to use it.
