This riddle is based on actual history. As a matter of fact, it is more of a history test than a riddle.
The time is early 1600s, in Febuary, in London, England.
A mother and her child are travelling by foot through the rain looking for shelter. They take refuge in a local hotel where they are greeted by a dignified gentleman who is the receptionist. He states that the only vacancy is one small room, with a small bed. He also mentions that their is a hotel about two kilometers down the road that may have vacancies. The mother decides to board the child in the small room, and she will make the extra trek through the rain to the other hotel for rest.
The next day, the rain has let up, and the mother walks back to the hotel where she left her child. She comes back to the same hotel, sees the same dignified receptionist, and asks to see her son. The man looks at the mother with a puzzled look and says "You want to see who?" The mother explains that the previous night, she brought in her child, their was only vacancy for one, and she left her child there. She even went to the room where she left her son, but found the room to be completely empty of everything. No more bed, sheets, carpet, nightstand, bible, etc.. The man told her that the room was never made to be a hotel room, and was being used as extra storage space.
To say the least, the mother was crushed, but the big mystery is, what happened to the child?
hint:
answer:
Jam it back in, in the dark.
