The mystery figure
One cool Fall day, when it was nearly morning in Country Town, U.S., when everyone was sleeping, a scary shape ran through the neighbourhoods. Its soft velvet shoes didn't make sounds on roads. That helped him not-to-be-seen.
When some children woke up to get ready for school, the smartest twins that studied in Country Elementary, Saketh, and Nathan, saw the scary shape's footprints. They quickly put two and two together, and put together a team. They began a clubhouse and started a meeting. They thought and suggestions came forth. Smart Ardalan said, "Let's make a trap tomorrow and trap it the next day".
They split and looked for clues. Anirudh found a piece of muddy cloth and a piece of soft, velvety shoe. Ardalan found a piece of woolly glove and itsy bitsy piece of wax you could only see through a magnifying glass. Nathan found a muddy leaf with shoeprints on it. And Saketh found shoeprints in an apartment.
They brought the clues back to the clubhouse. Except the shoeprints. They thought about the clues for a few hours. Then they went home. After an hour, Anirudh ran to the club house with good news. Anirudh said "I typed the clues to the mystey in my computer, then I typed `solve mystery' and then I printed out the clues I typed, turned off the computer, put the clues together, went back to the computer put it on, typed `answer', and the screen said `executer'. So I set a trap and then I came to tell."
That night, the team waited and waited. Next morning the boys trapped the executer. They pulled off the mask and who was in there? Mr Bron of course. Nathan and Saketh were so happy they had a party after they came back from the museum.
