A Complicated Mystery


The Nintendo DS+B was missing.  This was not any ordinary Nintendo DS.  This one was the DS+B model that played games, of course, but it also held books!  That's what the +B stands for! You could read your favorite books on the screen, complete with pictures.

This NDS+B belongs to JaLayla, or at least it did until this afternoon, when it came up missing!  JaLayla is a hippo who loves to read and loves to learn.  She wasn't very pretty, but she was very nice and quite smart.

She was playing at the park with her friends and laid the DS+B on a picnic table while she and her friends turned cartwheels in the grass.  When she came back to the table, it was GONE!

She called her BFF Fudge, a loyal friend who just happens to be a space alien.  Fudge used his super hearing and detective skills to track down the Nintendo and grabbed it from a horse named Devante.  Devante was a nice guy who said he had never been to the park.  He said that this afternoon he was at home listening to his favorite group, Mindless Behavior.  His favorite song is "My Girl" and he was spending the afternoon trying to memorize the words.

Fudge asked where he got the DS+B.  Devante said, "I bought it from a guy for $20."  Fudge got a description of the guy and knew right away who it was.  Fudge explained that it was stolen and then went to find the thief.  When he found him, Fudge turned him over to the police and got Devante's money back.

Fudge invited Devante to go with him to return the Nintendo to JaLayla.  Fudge found out JaLayla likes Mindless Behavior too, but her favorite song is "Girls Talkin' Bout."  Fudge, JaLayla and Devante spent the rest of the afternoon together listening to music and reading books.  The thief, meanwhile, spent the day (and a lot more) in jail.  The three new friends decided to get together again soon and read and listen to music.

Can you write about the friends' NEXT adventure?  What other powers does Fudge have?  What other music groups do they like?  What are their favorite books?  What do the three friends look like?  Can you draw a picture?  Use your imagination and have fun!
