Crystal was a reporter for her school’s newspaper, The Real Story. She’d done several different kinds of stories before, but never anything like the story she was about to do. During an interview, the school nurse, Mrs. Jones, had told Crystal that the school had a secret basement. Crystal was eager to find out what was in the basement. It could be just about anything! So Crystal asked the newspaper’s advisor, Mr. Adair, if she could do a feature on the school’s basement. He agreed with her that basement might be a fascinating story, especially since a lot of people weren’t even aware that it existed.

Crystal got permission from the headmaster to go down into the basement as long as some teachers went with her. So Mr. Adair and Mrs. Jones accompanied Crystal when she went to explore the basement. The guard unlocked the basement door, and Crystal and the two teachers slowly descended the narrow staircase. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Jones turned on the light, and she, Mr. Adair, and Crystal began to look around.

Crystal soon discovered a large set of bookshelves with a collection of old dusty books on them. “What are those?” she wondered aloud. Neither of the two teachers knew, so Crystal made her way over to look more closely at the books. They turned out to be yearbooks from every year since the school opened. For almost an hour, Crystal, Mr. Adair, and Mrs. Jones paged slowly through the yearbooks.

Leonardo da Vinci began painting the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous paintings of all time, in 1503. He was working on a special painting for a church at the time, but it was not going well. The woman who can be seen in the Mona Lisa is said to be Madonna Lisa del Giocondo. She was the wife of an Italian businessman who asked da Vinci to paint a portrait(肖像)of her.

After da Vinci finished the painting in 1506 he was invited by the French King, Francois I, to visit France, and he took the painting with him. Today the Mona Lisa is kept in the Louvre, an art museum in Paris, and it is seen by about six million visitors a year.

The painting measures only 77 centimeters by 53 centimeters and is painted with oil 10 on wood. In 1911, Vincenzo Peruggia, a worker at the Louvre, stole the painting. He took it out of the museum by hiding it under his coat. Two years later, police officers found the painting under Mr. Peruggia’s bed after he tried to sell it.

In 1962, the Mona Lisa was taken to Washington and New York for an-exhibition. For the journey, the museum wanted to insure the painting.
