The Horse Thief
by the Valley, Alabama Writers
Something bad happened to Jacob. That was unusual because Jacob, the funny looking teenager who was always in a good mood, usually had a good day every day. Jacob loved horses; he even had two horses of his own. One of the horses was brown and the other one was white, but both were as fast as an airplane.
In a castle not too far from Jacob's farm, there lived a huge, fat monster named Joseph. He was quite frightening as he had one red eye and one green eye. He was also very clever. He dug a tunnel from his castle to the pasture of Jacob's farm and built a trap door near the watering trough. When Jacob's horse went to get a drink of water, they fell through the trap door and Joseph stole them.
Jacob couldn't believe his eyes! He had just been looking at his two horses and then they seemed to vanish into thin air. He called his good friend Beth who was very nice and a great basketball player. Only Jacob knew that she was also a secret agent.
Beth found the trap doors and followed the tunnel back to the castle. She came back to Jacob's farm and they came up with a plan to get the horses back.
Beth went to Joseph's castle pretending to be a lady who wanted to buy some horses. Joseph showed her Jacob's horses and while he was counting the money Beth gave him for the horses, Beth wrapped a chain around him so he couldn't get away. Jacob called the police and got his horses back.
The end.
Wow! A tunnel to steal the horses! What a clever idea! What do you think?
