Harry was looking forward to today. A very large old grave had been discovered while some forest land was being cleared. The university had been given the job of examining the grave and the things inside it. The grave was inside a big stone room which seemed to have been built for it.
‘It’s all a bit of a mystery so fat, Harry, ‘said professor Teo, Harry’s head of department. The grave seems to be older than anything we’d expect to find on the island. It’s definitely Chinese but I can’t imagine whose grave it is.’
Harry was extremely interested. Perhaps there would be something for him to add to his collection.
‘What would you like me to look at, professor Teo?’ asked Harry.
‘Well, Harry,’ answered the professor, ‘there’s a few old bits-pots, vases and such like-which were found close to the body. They seem to be important but we aren’t sure why yet. Perhaps you could see what you can find out/’
‘No problem, professor,’ said Harry’s room at the university and he was left alone to examine them. He loved this part of his work best of all.
He could see almost immediately that the pots were ancient. After carefully cleaning them he could see that most of them had contained perfumes and other valuable materials which were suitable for the grave of an important person. All of these things had long since lost their smell. Everything about them was dry, old and dead: there was nothing that made any of the pots different from hundreds of pots he had seen before. Harry was disappointed. There was nothing worth taking. Nothing.
