At the temple, Aahana saw everyone looking up. The bell was missing! 'How can we celebrate without the bell?' asked Meera, her face sad. Aahana whispered, 'Let’s find it!' They all nodded in agreement.

The three friends split up to look for the bell. Aahana searched near the big tree. She saw birds chirping merrily but no bell. 'Keep looking!' she told herself, feeling a bit worried.

Meanwhile, Ravi peeked under benches. 'No bell here!' he sighed. But then he noticed old ropes hanging. 'Maybe they belong to the bell!' he thought. He hurried back to tell Aahana and Meera.
