Emma's+Mystery+12

= =

One school day Emma broke her pencil so she went up to get a sharpened one from the pencil box on the counter in the back of the room. There weren’t any, so Emma went up and told Mrs.Preston. The next day Tahlen broke his pencil so he went to get a sharpened one there still weren’t any. This went on all week. Mrs Preston said “Has anyone seen the yellow pencils lately?” “No we asked you if we had any more.” said Emma and Tahlen. “You did?” “ Yes we did.” “Who would steal our pencils?” Mrs.Preston asked. Emma thought ‘It could be Micheal who eats pencils, Jared who is making a sculpture out of pencils, Brigit who is writing a really looooooooooooooooooong essay, or Mrs.Stander who is a teacher and doesn’t have enough money to buy pencils. “Who could it be?’ Mrs.Preston went over to Micheal and saw he had pencil led all over his mouth. Then Emma went over to jared who has thousands of pencils and is making a super big baseball out of pencils. Then Tahlen saw Brigit who had at least one-hundred broken pencils laying next to her. Last they all saw Mrs.Stander who was wearing a jacket with super big pockets. They wondered what was in the buldging pockets. It could be anything pencils, candy, markers, paper, it could be anything in the world. When would someone steal the pencils?Tahlen thought. Through the night all three of them wondered (Who could it be?, When would someone steal them?, and Why would someone do this?)  One day Thalen saw Micheal eating pencils. They weren’t just any ordenary yellow pencils they were designed pencils. Micheal isn’t the thief. The next day Emma got to school an hour early and went up to the classroom. But when she got there Jared was building his baseball. “Jared you’ve been taking our class pencils haven't you?” “No I haven’t. These pencils are red and white see?” said Jared in a really sassy voice. “If Jared and Micheal aren’t the thief who is it?” Emma thought real hard. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Later that day Emma’s brain went DING, DING, DING. Maybe Brigit took all of the pencils. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Tahlen!” Emma said. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“What?” Tahlen asked. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Go see what pencils Brigit has and I’ll see what Mrs.Stander has in her pockets.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Okay.” said Tahlen. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“BOOM!!!” Emma and Tahlen turned around there were the yellow pencils in Mrs.Standers pockets. All of the pencils went flying.
