Enjoy reading this quick mystery story and we'll find things to swap along the way! USA only please, no recent no-sends, and ratings of at least 4.5. Newbies welcome. We will swap items relating to the words I have in ( ) parenthesis, and a brief description or example will follow. Let's keep this inexpensive, maybe $5-$7 at the most. Here goes: THE CASE OF THE SNACK SHACK by Carol Farley Harborville's Beach (Snack) Shop had been open only an hour when Max stopped in and noticed a new (poster) announcing a price increase. "I put the sign up this morning," Mr. Levine told him. "Had to raise my prices (ten) percent because I have so many expenses. Like now I need a new window for my back room. Somebody broke it, trying to get into my store last night". "Have you called the police?" Max asked. "No. Nothing was stolen." He led Max to a small storeroom in the back. "I use this space as an (office). Sat here and made my price change poster last night. Soon's I was done, I left it on that old desk. When I went out, I locked the door to the main part of my store. So whoever got in was stuck in this little storeroom. Nothing here to steal." When Max left he wandered down to the break wall, where Nathan and Trevor were fishing. "Did you hear that somebody broke a window at the Shack?" he asked. "Nope," Nathan said. We've been here since dawn. Haven't talked to anybody." Trevor gestured to the bucket. "We've caught some big ones." Nathan stood. "But now I'm starving. I've got a (dollar) left from my allowance. If Mr. Levine is there now, I'm going up to the Shack to get a Big Beach Bun." "Better get another (dime) from somewhere," Trevor told him. "A dollar's not enough any more. As for me, I'm going home to get a couple sandwiches for myself." "You both stay right here," Max said. "I know which one of you broke that window. You'd better think of a way to pay for it, because I'm telling Mr. Levine." How did Max figure it out? I will post the answer later, or if you're too curious, go to kids.mysterynet.com Quick-solve 28 In order of the ( ) we will swap: 1. snack (choose any little snack) 2. poster (any poster, picture, sign, etc. You may print your own) 3. ten (pick any ten little items such as beads, stickers, etc.) 4. office (any kind of office or desk supply) 5. dollar ( send a $1 store item) 6. dime ( pick something that costs around a dime, if you can find anything! Maybe from a candy machine or a clearance item for example) 7. And finally, choose an inexpensive "mystery" item maybe from your partner's profile. Any questions please ask. I will post the answer later on in the comments box. We will make this a quick swap. |
