Operation Goldfish!
7:15 am. Friday. Mrs. King's goldfish were in the sink. They were squealing for help.
There were 4 suspects: Dan the Man, Jake the Jock, Peg the Leg and Lou Lou.
Who dunnit?
Was it Dan the Man? A general trying to save money for a new bugle?
Was it Jake the Jock? Quoting statistics about sports like soccer.
Was it Peg the Leg? A woman who never stepped on cracks.
OR
Was it Lou Lou? A sugar addicted baker.
It's definitely not Peg the Leg because... there could be some cracks on the floor and she never steps on cracks. She would go nowhere with cracks and a science room might have cracks.
It can't be Jake the Jock because... he can't eat chocolate chunks, candy apples and corn on the cob because a baseball knocked out his front tooth. The criminal left chocolate chunks behind.
Dan the Man wouldn't have done this because... he always wears shoes and those are part of his uniform and the criminal had bare feet.
I think Lou Lou was the culprit because she has a sweet tooth, doesn't wear shoes very often and is very clumsy so she would break the piggy bank.
At the scene of the crime, There was a broken piggy bank, so Lou Lou could have bumped into something. There also was a half eaten candy bar, Lou Lou could have eaten this and left it behind. The footprints had no shoes, they were made by the culprit's bare feet. Lou Lou was wearing no shoes!
Do you think it was Lou Lou as well?!

Could have been Peg the leg - she may have been trying to avoid the cracks and knocked the goldfish bowl over by mistake. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant job, Jacob.
ReplyDeleteI actually wondered whether it might have been Dan the Man - perhaps he took his shoes off when he committed the crime and then out them on again afterwards!
