La llave perdida

Ayer perdí las llaves de casa. Las busqué en la mochila y en los bolsillos, pero no aparecieron. Llamé a mi hermana porque ella tiene una copia, y me dijo que estaba en el trabajo hasta las ocho. Esperé en la cafetería de la esquina y tomé dos cafés. Cuando llegó mi hermana, abrimos la puerta y vi las llaves encima de la mesa de la cocina.
