Timmy and the Mystery of the Missing Marbles
Timmy loved playtime at school, but today, his favorite marbles were gone! He looked under desks, in backpacks, even in the big cubbies. No marbles. He was about to give up when he heard a voice.
“SUPPLIES!”
A startled Timmy jumped and whirled around. There stood Mr. Bill, the school janitor, popping out of the supply closet with a big grin and a broom in his hand.
“Mr. Bill, you scared me!” Timmy said, catching his breath.
“Sorry about that, kiddo,” chuckled Mr. Bill. “But what’s got you down in the dumps?”
Timmy explained about his missing marbles. Mr. Bill’s eyebrows shot up. “A mystery, huh? This calls for Detective Bill!” He put on an imaginary detective hat and squinted at the floor.
They searched high and low, Mr. Bill making silly magnifying glass motions with his hand. “Aha!” he cried, pointing to a corner. There, tucked behind a bookshelf, were Timmy’s marbles!
“You found them, Mr. Bill!” Timmy cheered.
Mr. Bill winked. “All part of the job. Remember, kiddo, sometimes the answer is right where you least expect it. Just keep your eyes peeled!”
