Shadow of my best tree

Dear Mum and Dad,

You keep saying what is the point of being your son if I do not blab my secret cases to my mum and dad? Oh OK then, I will say about just 1, but keep it in the Lair. It is called The Case of the Ants’ Lost Football Boots. Now I will say about the solving part.

The captain of Ants United FC came under our office door wearing his captain’s strip with his number on (Number 9999999). He said antly, “Hello, somebody has pinched all my team’s football boots, can you detect who dunnit?” Normus said, “Yes and I will bash them up for you.” But me and Yeller and Stubbs said, “No need for bashing, Normus. Just adding up, plus using your keen beastly senses.”

So Normus said, “Right then, how many boots got pinched?” and the captain said, “All the lot.” That was a hard sum to add up, because of ants having to times by loads of feet. But Yeller got the answer, 6 x 11 = 66. Then Normus said to the ant, “Hoy, have you got any reserves?”

Good thing he said that because the answer was yes, 1. That made 72 boots pinched. And guess what? We solved who the stealer was! Arrroooo for the YFDA!

And now:

NEW MYSTERY CRIMES OF FRETTNIN FOREST

1) 13 pups, chicks, cubs, fledgies ect. have gone missing from Frettnin Forest in 2 days

2) Also much treasure keeps getting robbed

3) Reports coming in of strange spookly small things seen in the night

Good. Because that means loads more detecting for us. So watch out all you kidnappers and robberers and small spookles, because we have a detective kit and we can find out WHODUNNIT!

Yours trackingly,

L B Wolf

Co-Cheef Detective, YFDA
