Alex discovers a new type of rock

Notes from the Science Journal of  Alex Tiger

2pm – I have made a remarkable discovery. In one of my search areas located near Kinzville Park I was digging for samples when I came across a small cache of unusually colored, smooth, oval rocks. I have gathered the samples and am about to return to my lab (bedroom) to study them more closely.

3pm – I am now in the lab with my samples and have decided to research the rocks before beginning my analysis. I have scanned all of my reference books and have been unable to find any reports of rocks matching the samples I have discovered. The signs are all pointing to the fact that this is an entirely new scientific discovery!

3:15pm – Upon closer inspection the rocks have been revealed to be a hoax. As I tapped one of the samples with my chisel, the outer covering chipped off to reveal a solid chocolate center. The covering was a candy-coated shell. These are no rocks – they are chocolate eggs!

3:30pm – A phone call to Roberta revealed that the Easter Planning Committee has compromised some if not all of my search areas by hiding chocolate eggs all over Kinzville. Considering the scope of the Easter Planning, I must consider all of my sites to be tainted and abandon them. It is clear I will have to take my search further afield. I will set up new search areas around the perimeter of the Magic Forest where they are less likely to be disturbed.
