Dear Nibbles,
Life onboard ship is never dull! You will not believe what happened! The cook on the ship can be kind of cranky sometimes. (Dogbeard says it’s because he gets seasick. So why would he take a job on a ship? Weird.) Lately he has been really going nuts because he swears that some of the crew have been sneaking into his galley and stealing food at night. All of the crew denied that they had taken anything and I certainly haven’t been going in there, but the cook didn’t believe us.
So I guess last night he decided to set up a trap. He put a pile of flour in front of the door so that when the thief came in and stole some food, they would leave a trail of white footprints leading back to their cabin. It’s actually pretty smart, huh?
He didn’t tell anyone he was planning on doing this, and just a minute ago he comes into the kitchen and starts shouting “I knew it! Now I will have them! They will be thrown in irons!” (Um, I happen to know for a fact that the whole ‘being thrown in irons’ thing is SO two or three centuries ago!) But of course Dogbeard really wants to know who the thief is too, so we’re going to follow the footprints from the galley and see where they lead.
Oh, Nibbles! I just never know what is going to happen on this ship! I will let you know what we discover about the mysterious thief!
Love,
Laurabeard
a thief of food? tell dogbeard you should get a xfinity security home system! we have 1 and i works great!
I am really eager to know who did it!
I just love mysteries!! I hope it’s someone totally unexpected.
I bet the cook ends up with flour all over his OWN feet. (sleepwalking)
cool!
