A stranger dressed in a dark cloak came into the village

and entered the house of Isabel, whose father was away

on business. Isabel quickly shut the door and closed all the

windows. Isabel's neighbors wanted to know the identity of

the mysterious stranger, so they baked pies and cakes and

took them to Isabel's home, hoping to get a peek at the

mysterious visitor. The next day, Isabel and her father

enjoyed pie after breakfast, lunch, and dinner while the

black cloak hung on the coat rack.
