Mason Elementary School, Duluth, GA - 2nd Grade

The Case of the Missing Cheese

It was a big box of cheese and it was full of mice.  That's why Layla loved it so much.  Layla was a fat grumpy cat who loved to eat cheese, especially when it was full of mice.  What made this cheese so special is that the cheese was also stuffed with cat food!

Not too far away from Layla's house lived Bonnie, a big evil tiger, who loved to read books about bad guys (and girls) who stole stuff.  Bonnie always cheered when they stole the treasure, but she was always upset when they got caught.  And in the books she read, the bad guys ALWAYS got caught.  Bonnie knew that SHE was too smart to get caught.  So she planned the biggest heist ever.  She was going to steal some mice filled, cat food stuffed cheese from a neighborhood cat named Layla. 

While Layla was sleeping, dreaming about cheese and mice, Bonnie crept into Layla's house and stole the cheese.  When Bonnie woke up, hungry for a snack, she discovered that the cheese was GONE!  Oh no!  She called her friend Richard and told him what had happened.  Richard, a dog who loved to help people, came right over.  He sniffed and looked and took notes and said, "I don't know who took the cheese, but I think I know which way the thief went!

Richard followed the clues and the scent and went right to Bonnie's house.  Richard and Layla called the police and they arrested Bonnie and got the cheese back.  Bonnie went to jail, promising that she would get out and would get away with her crime next time!  Layla offered Richard a reward.  She said, "You can have a big piece of cheese!"  Richard looked at the cheese, filled with mice and oozing cat food, and said, "No thank you.  I just started my diet!"


Does Bonnie escape and plot the perfect crime?  Is Richard REALLY on a diet?  How long does it take Bonnie to eat the cheese?  You can write the next chapter and see what happens!
