When the police arrived, Dad opened the wardrobe doors. The police looked very surprised to see a burglar inside. They pulled him out and put handcuffs on him. Then they took all our things out of his sack and gave them back to Mom.

The burglar was shocked. He told the police how the wardrobe had come to life and trapped him, but they didn’t believe him. Then the police took the burglar away. Mom made us some hot chocolate, and we all sat in the hall and looked at the wardrobe.

“You can’t send it away now,” I said. “You can’t. It’s a good, smart, brave wardrobe. It’s part of the family.”

I patted the wardrobe, and it patted me back.

“I know it is,” Mom said, and she gave a yawn. “But it still needs training.”

“I’ll train it!” I said. “I’ll look after it. Please? Please? It will be a really good wardrobe. I know it will.”

Mom and Dad smiled at each other.

“Do you think you can do it, Ella?” Mom asked. “It’s a big job, training a magic wardrobe.”

I thought about the wardrobe throwing out sweaters because they were itchy. I thought about it being lonely in the shed. I thought that if the wardrobe was really happy, maybe it would start being good all the time.

“Yes,” I said. I sipped my hot chocolate and smiled back at Mom. “I think I can.”
