The Case of the Missing Cow
First Graders at Parson's Elementary School, Suwanee, GA
It was sunset. Chris was tired after a full day of playing outside with his giant pet cow. It was hard for Chris to keep up when the cow ran fast because Chris was so short. Thank goodness he was young and full of energy! Besides, the cow was kind of fat, so she didn't run very far.
Chris was settling down with a good book. He LOVED to read! His mom had taught him how to read when he was just three years old on their home planet. Chris was an alien living here on earth. He had made lots of friends since he had landed in Suwanee a few years ago.
He had just gotten to the most exciting part of the book when he heard a loud "MOOOO!" and then a door slammed shut. He ran to the barn where his cow lived and she was gone! Chris did not know what had happened, but he knew it wasn't good.
While Chris was trying to figure out what happened to his cow, his cow was wondering what was going on too! She had been kidnapped by the evil hippo, Davis. Davis was taking the cow to give to his girlfriend as a gift. Davis could have bought her a gift, but he loved money so much, he did not want to spend any.
Meanwhile, Chris was on the phone calling his best friend Bob, who happened to be a police officer. Bob was super fast and always solved the crime. He use a laser beam to track the cow and when he found her, he arrested Davis and called Davis' mom. Davis was in trouble now! Davis' mom always said, "If you make poor choices, there will always be consequences!" Not only that, his girlfriend broke up with him because he stole the cow. We hope that Davis learned his lesson.
Chris and his cow were reunited and they invited Bob over to the barn for a party to celebrate!
The End
Hey 1st graders! Can you illustrate the story? What did our characters look like? Can you write the next chapter? What happens to Chris and his cow next? Does Davis REALLY learn his lesson? What mystery does Bob have to solve now? It's up to you!
