A mystery is like a puzzle that you don’t have all the pieces for yet. Imagine if you have a box of puzzle pieces, but some are missing. You try to fit them together to see the whole picture, but it’s not complete. That’s what a mystery is like. You have some clues, but not enough to see the whole story.
Think of a mystery as a treasure hunt. You have a map with some spots marked, but you don’t know what you’ll find at each spot. Each clue you find is like a piece of the map that leads you closer to the treasure. You have to use your brain and think about how each clue fits together to solve the mystery.
A mystery can also be like a magic trick. You see something amazing happen, like a rabbit coming out of a hat, but you don’t know how it happened. It’s a secret that you want to figure out. Mysteries make us curious and excited because we want to know the answer, just like when you want to know how the magic trick works.
