Online ProgramThe Glass Cupboard
There was a king who had a cupboard that was made entirely of glass. It was a special cupboard. It looked empty, but you could always take out anything you wanted. There was only one thing you had to remember. Whenever you took something out of it, you had to put something else back in, although nobody knew why.
One day some thieves broke into the palace and stole the cupboard. “Now, we can have anything we want,” they said. One of the thieves said, “I want a large bag of gold,” and he opened the glass cupboard and got it. The other two did the same and they too got exactly what they wanted. The thieves forgot one thing. Not one of them put anything back in the cupboard.
What happened when the king was away?
