The Funny Case  A Funny Story

A funny thing happened to me When I was in the army I had a funny case.

We lived in the barracks and they were being renovated. Many things were unfinished. On that day my mate and I stayed on were in the entryway and talking with the an* officer. There was the a ladder behind us that led down. And the** ladder had a ansealed hole.* I can't remember what we were talking about, but suddenly the officer threw a bunch of keys at us (as a joke). We had to dodge and the keys fall fell into the hole.

So, I need to clarify: the bunch of keys included keys to his home, garage, storeroom and other important rooms. And of course, it wasn't our fault, but the army is the army, and the officer ordered to find the keys before the sun rises)morning.

We were puzzled for about an hour. Hands didn't reach We couldn't reach the keys, and to get inside it  opening up the ladder wasn't possible. It We needed a very long stick and a strong magnet. But where we could could we find it? And one moment I got it!

The fact that Fortunatly, I worked for a personnel department and I had two keys: one from for the a cabinet, and second from for the archives. Also, the redecoration was upstairs and there were many sticks. So, I went to the upfloor and found a long stick. Then I went to the archive. There were many cobwebbed documents, different random stuff and some old dusty computers from the 90s, (maybe they were 486 or 386 if you remember itthose days) System blocks of these pc's had the speakers inside and these speakers included magnets. So, I got these magnets, and went to the personell department cabinet of a . There I found a some scotch tape. Then I wrapped the magnets on the end of the stick with the tape. Finely I had the needful necessary device for the searching) recovering the keys. (All these actions reminded me of a quest game)

So, then I came returned to an the unfortunate ladder and after several hard attempts, I got the keys!

Later, walking down the stairs (?) I met the officer. It seemed he was creating the plans for was seriously thinking about changing all of his various locks. in his head. And it was very funny to watch the expression on his face when he saw his keys safe and sound!

* Since you have not mentioned the officer before, and there are many officers, you should use "an" here instead ot "the." 

** Now you are referring to the same ladder, so you should use "the" instead of "a."

*You may need to give a little more description here.  Was the hole in th ladder itself? Or did the ladder stand over a hole in the floor?
