Resumo de A Mystery Story Of My Own

A Mystery Story of My Own Written by Jennifer Enstad My name is Melvin. I''m a middle-aged man. (Address 62 Wallaby Street.) My daily routines consist of, porridge for breakfast and I like to read the morning paper. Along with my porridge and the paper I like to have a nice cup of tea. My current job right now is a window washer for the local businesses around town. On my spare time I like to invent things. I''m a really good inventor. I probably would be even better at it if the stuff I invented actually worked, but that will come in time. My wife died when I was 30, so it''s been just me and my dog Rufus. My dog is strange. He doesn''t talk at all but if you make him mad his actions say it all. He keeps my bedroom and his kennel docorated, and if I move anything i practically loose my head. I always have to keep at least 4 boxes of corn flakes in the house because if I don''t, Rufus in his own strange little way lets me know that I''ve forgotten to him corn flakes. He loves reading the paper. Every time the paper shows up on my dorrstep I have to make sure I get to it before Rufus does otherwise I''ll never get to read it. He''s especially handy when it comes to my inventions, Because he is very handy with elsectronics. Lately he has been knitting little shirts and pants, I''m kind of wondering what they are for. Oh well none of my business. Ok, back to me. Lately I have been having problems. Someone has been at my cheese and I''m going to find out who it is. I''m suspecting that it might be Rufus but every time I ask him he gets affended and something ends up broken. So i learned my lesson on that one. I''ve decided to ask the local business owners. I think I''ll start with the lady who owns the yarn store just a few blocks from my house. She sees everything and the strange thing is she knows everything that happens inside my house too. (I think I need to invest in some curtains or blinds.) "Good day Mrs. Yarnster" "Good day Melvin, how may I help you?" "I''m going around to the local business''s and asking the owners if they know anything about my cheese." "Your cheese Melvin?" "Yes my cheese, somebody has been at my cheese lately and i was wondering if you saw or heard anything." " Well I did see two animals go into your house the other day, I thought maybe it was Rufus and a friend of his, but that''s about all I saw." "Ok thank you Mrs. Yarnster, if you see or hear anything else be sure to let me know." "Sure will." "Oh by the way Melvin, your total is $12.00 for the yarn." " I should really make Rufus pay for his own yarn, Rufus I was kidding, RUFUS! Rufus come back I was joking! Rufus......dumb dog." "I''m hungry now so i thing i''m going to go to Wallaby''s Food Palace for some food. "Good day, porridge today Melvin.....Tuesday." "You got that right, Mrs. Lester." "Wares Rufus today Melvin?" "Probably at home destroying something because I said that he should pay for his own yarn." "Oh by the way Mrs. Lester, somebody has been in my cheese and I''m wondering if you knew anything about that." "I definitely know how you get when you suspect somebody was in your cheese Melvin." "Yes it makes me so mad when people mess with my favorite food." "Do you know anything about it?" "Melvin, I thought I saw Mrs. Yarnsters dog, Preston walking out of your house the other day." "Do you know what time that was?" "No, can''t say, I didn''t have a clock around." "What made you think it was Mrs. Yarnsters dog?" "Well Melvin, the dog had a big collar on with spikes and it walked like it was the king of the neighborhood." "I''ll go get your porridge Melvin." I took a napkin and started to write down information that I found out that day. I found out that there were two animals spotted coming out of my house. One animal was suspected to be Mrs. Yarnster''s dog. Maybe after my porridge I''ll go back to the yarn store and ask if she know ware her dog was. Now if only I knew what time it wasng is only Rufus knows where I keep my cheese. I really wish he would go to a dog anger management class. Off tho the bank. " Good day, Mr. Dollars." "Good day Melvin. "Did you come to take out a loan for your dogs corn flakes and yarn?" "No this time I came in to ask a question." "Ok go for it." " My cheese was messed with the other day and i was wondering if you knew anything about it." "Nope I know nothing." "Geez Mr. Dollars this is definetly a puzzle." "Melvin if you figure out who did it let me know." "sure will." No i think I''ll go talk to the guy tends a flock of sheep in the fields. "Good day Mr. Sheepster." "Stay ware you''re at!" "What? Why?" The cops will be here shortly to take you ware you belong." "I never thought you would be capable of steeling on of my lambs, my prized lamb at that!" All of a sudden the cops came flying around the corner, how Mr. Sheepster Knew I was coming was beyond me. "Mr. Melvin you ha the right to remain selent." Said one the cops. They put me in the car and took me to the local Jail. So, here I am sitting in jail. I wish I would have came up with a way to get myself out of situations like this, it would have been very useful right now. Well at least I have a little time to think about my cheese. I swear Rufus had something to do with my cheese, and Mr. Dollars was really quick to answer my questions. I wonder what Rufus is doing right now, I hope he didn''t burn my house down or something. "Mr. Melvin." "Yes?" "You''re free to go." "How come? Now, don''t get me wrong I''m not arguing with you but I was wondering why are you letting me go?" "Oh i don''t feel like watcing you so I''ll let you go, and I''ll pretend I never saw ya." "Thanks" is said. Now where can i go now? Hey! I can got o the dog food factory. Two people said that they thought they saw dogs coming out of my house so i''ll go see if they know anything. "Mr. Dogster?" "Oh jeez, um...I''ll be right with you Melvin." "You gave me quite a scare there Melvin." "Sorry." "I was wondering if you knew anything about my cheese." "Mr. Melvin, I have 350 bags of dog food to ship out I don''t have time to worry about your cheese. Now if you''ll excuse me I''ll be getting back to my work." "Psst, Mr. Melvin sir?" "yes?" "I think i might know who was messing with your cheese." "who are you?" " I''m Neta dollars." " I over heard my daddy talking to Mr. Dogster." "About what Neta?" " He said that he was going to kidnap one of Mr. Sheepsters prized lambs." " Do you know where they were going to take this lamb too?" "Yes they are keeping it in the storage room." "I have to take care of it, later today they are taking it to a factory in Lambergenie." "what time is this going to take place?" " I''m not sure, I thought I heard Mr. Dogster say something about moving it at 2:00." " Oh by the way, do you know anything about some cheese that was messed with the other day?" "Yes, Mrs. Yarnsters dog and your dog were responsible for that." " How do you know that?" " I was walking down the street from my daddy''s bank and I happened to look at your house, ans I saw too dogs coming out of your house with a bunch of cheese in there mouths." "Thank you." " Oh gosh it''s almost 2:00." I went ouside and waited behind some crates ware they were going to load the crate with Shaun the lamb into the truck. At 2:00 right on the dot two guys came out the the factory with a crate. They put it into the truck. "Hey you!" "What do you think your doing!" I shouted. Both men jumped into the truck and took off. The only thinkg I had to use was a motorcycle, so I jumped on that and took off after the truck. A cop pulled out behind me with his lights flashing. The cop mush have reported that there was a chase going on involving a truck and a motorcycle because all of a sudden 4 cop cars pulled out in front of the truck. The man driving the truck slammed on his brakes and hit one of the cop cars. The two men were arrested for theft an
