There wAs great consternation at the theological training college. The convocation bell had been made to sound. The trainee on chef duty was just about to slit the throat of the last capon destined for tonight's dinner but the bell spared the creature for a few moments more of its life. At the convocation the trainees learned of the theft or removal of the most important book in the library. The chef and a few others were sent back to their duties, but the bulk of the students and tutors were dispatched in different directions to search for the precious document. Gary, who'd not long been at the college, set off to somewhere he hadn't explored yet. He found himself following a trail between two steep cliffs and was intrigued to know where it would lead. But then disappointment - there was another cliff blocking the way forward. He carefully checked all around the cajon looking for a way through, but all he could do was to turn round and head back. By now it was getting darker in this enclosed space, so he switched on his phone torch to aid his return. Just as he did so the torch reflected off something shining gold. He investigated and, to his delight, retrieved the precious canon of the law with its gold binding. Gary hurried back to the college where there were great celebrations that night.
