Answer.

The woman seated on the left is the child’s mother, evident as she positions herself with her legs directed towards the child. This stance signifies her inherent maternal instinct to shield her child.

Her posture leans slightly forward, displaying a protective stance that is typical of a mother caring for her child. Young children naturally tend to face their mother when engaging in activities, especially when she is present.

4. Christmas mystery

A detective, working on Christmas day, responded to a call. Arriving at a house, he rang the doorbell, and a drowsy homeowner opened the door a minute later. The detective accused the homeowner, stating that the neighbor claimed they had broken into their house during a party on Christmas Eve and stolen valuable items.

The homeowner denied the accusation, stating, “That’s not true. We were at our friends’ place celebrating Christmas Eve. We hardly had time to decorate our own Christmas tree.”

The detective reassured the homeowner, “Don’t worry. It’s clear to me that your neighbor is not telling the truth.”

Question. How did the detective know?

The Christmas tree lights were unplugged and missing a single bulb, rendering them non-functional. The detective recognized that the owner spoke truthfully. The hurried decoration of the tree indicated that the owner hadn’t checked if the lights were working before.

5. Sleepover
