A young woman in college has moved into a certain old apartment building. As she's unpacking her belongings, she sees a spot on the wooden floor where a mismatched board has been added. Curious, she lifts the board to find a dirt surface with a pair of rusty scissors stuck in the earth...
The scissors she had discarded 
in the trash can were gone.
المقصّ الذي رمته في سلّة المهملات كان قد اختفى
war die Schere, die sie
entsorgt hatte, verschwunden.
No encontró las tijeras
que había desechado.
No encontró las tijeras
que había tirado.
Les ciseaux qu’elle pensait avoir jetés
ne sont plus dans la poubelle.
si accorse che le forbici
che aveva buttato nel bidone erano sparite.
A tesoura que havia atirado na lixeira sumiu.
