Annie the Detective

　　Annie the Detective

　　1.Annie and her family were enjoying dessert. Everyone loved Mother’s chocolate almond cake. But Annie was not feeling well. “Mom， can I save my piece for tomorrow？” she asked.

　　2.Annie， are you sure want to save your cake？ asked Dad. “What if it spoils？” asked her sister Molly. “It won’t taste good tomorrow，” said Jesse， one of the twins. “What if you’re still sick tomorrow？” said Jake， the other twin. “Please do not touch my cake！” she said.

　　3.“Good morning！ How are you feeling？” asked Mother. “I feel great！” answered Annie. Annie opened the refrigerator door. “Oh， no！” she shouted. “My cake is gone！”

　　4.Who ate my cake？” she asked. “Not me，” said Molly. “It wasn’t me，” said Jesse. “Don’t look at me，” said Jake. Annie’s parents shrugged their shoulders.

　　5.“One of you is not telling the truth，” she said. “Someone in this room ate my cake！ I am going to find out who did it！”

　　6.Annie asked her family to leave the kitchen. She wanted to search the area for clues.

　　7.There were no dishes or cups in the sink. It was very clean. Annie opened the cupboard. One of the cups was missing.

　　8.Annie opened the lid to the garbage can. She found the wrapper from her cake. There was also a banana peel.

　　9.“I would like to ask you some questions，” announced Annie. “Let’s start with you， Dad. What time did you go to sleep last night？” she asked.” “About eleven.” He answered. “Did you wake up during the night？” “Yes， I did. I went to the bathroom，” he said.

　　10.“Did you wake up during the night？” Annie asked her mother. “I woke up twice，” she answered. “Once when your father got up， and the other time was about six o’clock，” “What woke you up then？ Annie asked.” I thought I heard a sound from the kitchen.”

　　11.“I got up about twelve because I was thirsty. I drank some milk，” Molly said. “Where is your cup？” Annie asked her sister.

　　12.I went to sleep at ten and woke up at eight this morning， so I couldn’t have eaten your cake， unless I was sleepwalking.” Molly gave the cup to Annie. It was the missing cup from the cupboard.

　　13.“Did you get up during the night？” she asked Jake. “No， uh， wait， yes， I did.” “What time was that？” “Uh， I think it was about one or two.” “Why did you get up？” “I was hungry. So， uh， I ate a banana.”

　　14.Annie looked at her notebook. “I know who ate my cake，” she announced. Annie looked at each person. Then her eyes rested on Jake. “It was Jake.” “H…How did you know？” he asked.

　　15.Mom said she heard a noise around six in the morning. Someone must have been up at that time. But my biggest clue was the banana peel. If you ate the banana around one or two， the peel would already be dark. But when I saw it， it was still white.”

　　16.Jake admitted he ate Annie’s cake. He apologized to Annie. No one knew Annie was such a good detective！
