A Very Strange Story

By the Columbiana Kids

When Bob stepped into his time machine that morning, he knew something bad was going to happen. He was on his way to the library, carrying his big, silk, pink polka dotted purse over his shoulder. This was the bag he carried his books in whenever he went to the library. Bob was a good looking man, with bushy brown eyebrows over blue eyes and a shaved head.

While he was time traveling, Frankie, a rich girl, who always carried a suitcase full of things she had stolen from others, set her evil plan into motion. Frankie had discovered a way to get into the timestream and take items from people who were traveling. When she saw Bob's purse, she decided she had to have it. So, she grabbed it by the strap and pulled it right out of his hand.

When Bob got to his destination and found he had been robbed, he called Timmie, a panda who is always very helpful, and who, by the way, is a great architect. Timmie knew exactly what to do. Fashioning a long fishing pole out of bamboo, Timmie snagged the purse from Frankie's bag, causing all the stolen items to fall to the floor. The police saw the chaos and arrested Frankie, solving several crimes with one arrest. Timmie was hailed as a hero, and Frankie changed her ways and used her talents for something much more productive.
