The Case about a Joke Book 2 by Eric

The Case about a Joke Book2

      The joke book wasn’t in the restaurant. Where could it be? Mike lost it in the restaurant, if nobody took it, it must still there. But the book wasn’t there now, so someone must have taken it.

      The question is who took Mike’s joke book?I didn’t know and I couldn’t  find out.

Let me think, if I find a book on the ground,what will I do?  I’ll bring it to the bookshop!

I went to the bookshop. The bookshop is too big. There are a lot of books in it. I saw a salesman.     

      “Did anyone bring any books back to this bookshop?”

      “Yes,” he said.

      “How many books?”

     “Two books.”

     “What kind of book they are?”

      “A story book and a cookbook.”

      “Did anyone bring a joke book?”

      “No.”

      “Thank you for your help,” I said.

      I walked to the joke book region and look for “Joke Stew”. It’s not there!I I was puzzled.

I stated thinking again, I thought and thought and thought, I was thinking very very hard.The joke book wasn’t in Mike’s home, wasn’t in the restaurant, wasn’t in the bookshop, or was it?

      The case is over. I know where is it now.

I called Mike to come to the book shop. A few minutes later, Mike came.

I took him to the cookbook region. The joke book was there.

      “How did you find it?”Mike asked.

      “You fell over in the restaurant and your joke book was on the ground yesterday. Someone saw it and took it. He or she brought it to the bookshop. But when I ask the salesman what kind of book he or she brought, he said there were a storybook and a cookbook. "Joke Stew:  sounds like a cookbook, right? He or she must have thought  it’s a cookbook, but it wasn’t  a cookbook at all!”

      “You are a great detective!”

      I solved the case. And I can visit Charlie now.

      I can’t wait!

(The End)
