Solution: The footprints leading away from the house gave Mr Dinsmore away. A burglar would use the lader to enter the house,
but leave through the front door - especially with a painting of this considerable size.

Pad
The Sacred Cube
Do you know which mosque is the
oldest one on earth? It is Al-MasjidAl-Haram. It is a very sacred mosque,
where the Kaaba is situated. Kaaba,
the holy box like structure covered
with the black cloth “Kiswah” with gold
lining, is at the centre of the mosque.
Thousands of pilgrims visit the mosque
every year to perform Hajj or Umrah.
So did you wonder what the inside
of the Kaaba looks like? Only some
people get the golden chance to look
inside but if you search on YouTube
you will find a video showing what’s
Quba Mosque
inside. It is lined with marble and a
green cloth covering the upper walls.
It seems someone took a phone with
himself and took a video of the inside
of the Kaaba, one of the most holy
places on earth!
