Thievery in the Kitchen

     No one knew that there was a cookie missing during spring break.   One Saturday morning Mama was about to go into the kitchen, but Caleb started asking her questions.   While Caleb was inquiring, Lyle snuck through the kitchen doorway and took the huge chocolate chip cookie that was going to be for Timothy on his birthday.  
     When Mama found out, she thought it was Admiratio because he was finishing something in his mouth.   Tim found out about the cookie incident and knew it wasn’t Admiratio because he had fed him that morning.   He then investigated.   When Tim walked through the kitchen door, he saw a crumb that had fallen into the sink.   He knew that Admiratio wouldn’t go up there because of the faucet.
    Next morning Tim got up early and put a big cookie near the place where Lyle usually went to get a drink of water in the morning.   The detective hid and waited.   At 6:00 a.m. Lyle came down and saw the cookie near his cup.   He thought to himself how lucky he was since there was another cookie just at hand.   When he was about to eat it, Caleb came and asked if he could have half of it because Lyle had gotten the bigger piece of the other stolen cookie.   Before they had secretly finished it, Tim came out and told how naughty they were.   When they heard this, they knew they were in trouble.   As soon as everybody was up, the brilliant detective told the story, and Caleb and Lyle had to pay him twenty tokens for stealing.
