The Case Of The Missing Candy Cane!

            Once upon a time there was a cookie, a Detective Cookie. He solved mysteries all the time! He always catches the criminal.  He is getting in to his best investigation yet!! It was 11:00 o’clock and Detective Cookie was watching a movie. Then suddenly the phone rang. Ding-aling!!!  

“Hello this is Detective Cookie speaking,” said Detective Cookie.

“I just got ROBBED!! Please help me!” pleased the woman.

“Okay but first, your name?” asked Detective cookie.

 “Marsh Mellow you can call me Marsh for short.” She said nicely.

“Location?” He asked.

“

Dreary Lane

, Sweets Hotel,” She said quickly. “Just Hurry!!” Detective Cookie was on his way. When he walked in he saw a big case with nothing in it. He didn’t know what was going on, but he was about to find out!!  

“Hi are you Detective Cookie?” Asked Ginger the gingerbread girl.

“Yes indeed I am,” said Detective Cookie. “I’m looking for Marsh Mellow.”

“Just a sec I’ll get her.” Said Ginger, but before she could go in her office Marsh came running out and the door slammed Ginger in the head.

 “I’m not getting paid enough” complained Ginger.

 “ Hi welcome to the sweets hotel,” Marsh said sweetly. “As you can see this is where the candy cane SHOULD be, but it’s not, someone stole it and it will start to shut down the whole hotel system!” She seemed afraid.

 “Calm down mam we’ll find out who did it." he said and off he went looking for clues.  

He saw rappers from chocolate bars and mini cereal boxes.

 “This place is a dump,” He thought. “No wonder they stole the candy cane! It’s the only thing in this dump sweet and minty!”

 “ Oh, and the crook is in the building!” Marsh shouted.

 “Okay so the crook is in the building, must like chocolate bars and K- cereal,” He thought.

 “Maybe it’s Oatmeal Raisin. The Preschool thief of crayons. Twenty-four pack and up. Marsh, do you no where Oatmeal raisin is?”

“Yes, room 304. Hurry computers are down!!” She complained. He went up the elevator. Knock-Knock!!

“Whose there?” the voice asked.

“Detective Cookie! I’m here for an interview about the missing candy cane. It’s an order from the owner. May I come in?” he asked.

“ Yes and Oh, I’m Oatmeal call me Oatis!” He said back. They had a long interview but a fun one!

“One more thing everyone uses alibi but where were you last night?” He asked.  “In the lobby with coffee.” He said honestly. Not as serious as they thought. Detective Cookie went down the elevator smiling.

“So,” asked Marsh.     

“So what,” He asked back.

“Did he do it?”

“Ohhhh, no.”

“Well find out who did!!”

“Okay okay!! I will.” He said annoyed. So away he went he asked two more people. Kitten number one from the three little kittens, and Grandma the creator and director of the Gingerbread man. The stories were interesting, but one has to leave! He thought about the bad things about the suspects. Oatis stole crayons. The kitten got in trouble a lot. And grandma wasn’t good at catching gingerbread men. Who could it be? The evidence isn’t in the clues. The witness is my spy in the bushes getting footage! I’ll ask him!! He talked to him for a while. Then they got the solution!  Ginger may not be a suspect but she’s always in the lobby, gets mad at her boss Marsh, and loves candy. She just loves candy, I saw her in the footage eating candy nonstop!!  The police came and arrested her, took her to candy jail [all you get to eat is candy to rot your teeth] and got the candy cane out of her office. Everything was back to normal!

“The case is solved!” he said then got back to his movie.

                               

Nellie the fastest one in the land

                                          One day on the old frontier of Ohio, a girl was born. Her parents named her Nellie, Nellie Burner. When she grew to about thirteen, she was fast. She was the best runner ever! She didn’t want to be famous; she wanted to be a regular girl. One day the day of the spring festival she slipped away. She ran to the little empty cabin. In side were cobwebs, dust, but all the supplies known to man to live for about a month. As she picked up some coal to make a fire there was a knock. She got up and asked, “Who’s there?”

“Sally Betler, the one who lives here!” the girl answered.

“Oh, sorry I didn’t realize someone li...” but before she could finish Sally interrupted.

“Oh, that’s okay partner! I can’t live alone forever among the wild animals as fierce as Pecos Bill! Anyway what’s your name?”

“Nellie. I found this house and thought it was vacant. I am the fastest runner in that there town and I just want to be a regular girl.” Nellie sighed.

“Stay with me and we can try to fix your problem!” Sally exclaimed. After that it was dark out so they went to bed. In morning they woke up as early as a rooster and started a plan. They   decided to tell the mayor to tell everyone that she wants to be regular. So off they went to the Mayors office and Sally said, “Dig dong duty it’s good to see you again mayor!”

“Hey Sally and Nellie! What’s the problem again ding dongs?”

“I would like you to tell the town to treat me normal and forget how fast I am!”

“Well okie doke diggily poke. I’ll do it now.” Finally she got treated how she wanted to. As well as a child playing. After that Nellie didn’t stop running. Actually she made the Ohio River on a trail she runs on every morning. It rained pretty hard. That’s how the water got in. She was certainly the fastest!

Days later a man came to town. And said he could beat Nellie to the lake ten miles away! She agreed to have a tournament! So they did and they ran fast, but Nellie ran faster. When she tripped and broke her leg. She couldn’t run so the man won. She had to stay in bed for days. When she got out she never took a serious challenge again. Then in twenty years she had children and told the story, but never said it was her.
