Flo, Detective, and the Vanished Biscuits
Someone has taken every cookie from the cookie jar! Flo the detective is on the case.
Flo the detective put on a hat and picked up a magnifying glass. ‘A case!’ she said. Kira the rabbit was standing in the kitchen with a very sad face. ‘Someone has taken all my cookies,’ said Kira.
‘First, we look for clues,’ said Flo. She knelt down and examined the floor. There was tiny paw prints in the flour! ‘Aha,’ said Flo. She wrote it in her notebook. ‘Follow me.’
They followed the clue out of the back door and down the garden path. Past the rosebush. Past the old well. Round the corner, right up to a small blue shed. Kira gulped. ‘Someone’s inside!’
Flo knocked softly. The door creaked open. And there was Dani the raccoon, wearing an apron, surrounded by plates and plates of cookies. ‘Oh!’ Dani said. ‘You’ve found me!’
‘I’m so sorry,’ said Dani. ‘I borrowed your cookies for the bake sale for the animal shelter. I wanted to ask you, but you were out. I was going to bake some more to replace them.’ Kira blinked.
‘You could have just asked,’ said Kira. ‘I’d have baked more! That’s a very good thing to do.’ Flo closed the notebook. ‘Case closed,’ she said. ‘No crime here, only good cookies.’
So everybody helped bake the rest. And on the day of the bake sale for the animal shelter, there were more than a hundred cookies to share. Flo was given the very first one, as payment for solving the case.
