Secret Wardrobe in the Library

One stormy afternoon, Tosiek and Lena hid between the bookcases in the school library, escaping from an impatient teacher and the ever-present noise. The smell of old books mingled with that of the rain, and all sounds seemed to fade into the semi-darkness.
- Quiet! - Lena grabbed Tośek by the sleeve. - Did you hear that?
Something clattered loudly on the wall behind the topmost bookcase. Tosiek swallowed his saliva, but curiosity overcame fear. Together they slipped between the shelves until they stood in front of an old, dusty wardrobe they had never seen here before.
