Believe it or not. The tale of the missing spectacles

I recently mislaid some very new and expensive spectacles.   I turned the house upside down in my search for them: every nook and cranny.  It was an extensive but fruitless search; (including visits to the stores I had recently patronized)

They, all but brand new, were AWOL for about seven days. I gave up hope.

Where could they be? 

Better believe this.  

After giving up for a week I found them. 

Whoop de doo!

See below!

Above is an old beach towel which I keep on my bathroom floor. 

It's there to soak up any splashes of water after I've had a lick and a promise.

I picked it up yesterday in the cause of tidiness.

Underneath the towel were (hold your breath) the missing specs.

I'll never know how they'd made their way under that old towel.

 There is a wee chance that Cooper having seen them on the floor had "nose moved" them there   (Dogs sometime hide things with the help of their schnozzles). 

HOW IS IT that I had not trodden on them in more than a week?

It's probably wise to give my specs an overnight rest in this; an old Calvin Klein sunglasses container
