There once
lived a family called
the Adams. One day,
the three triplets came
into the dining room
to eat lunch, but when
they came in, their
mom was not there!
“Oh No!” “Our mom is
missing!” The
Detective, Akyra cried.
The other triplets,
Ashley, and Amelia,
decided to go look for
her.
They decided to go into
the city first to look for their
mom. They kept on calling
“Mom!” “Mom!” After four hours
of calling for their mom, it was
4:00. Akyra had an extra $10.00,
so they stopped at McDonalds for
a little snack. Their total at
McDonalds was $11.25, so Akyra
borrowed $1.25 from Ashley. After
that, they kept on looking for
their mom. They came upon an
advertising man standing on the
street in front of the museum.
“Are you Detective Akyra?” He
asked.
“Yes.” Akyra answered. “I have
been told that I should give
you and your sisters a free
ticket to the museum.” The
man said. “Why?” Ashley
asked. The man looked around
to see if anyone was there. No
one was, so he whispered to
them, “I was told that your
mom was in there.” He said.
“She is inside the space suit
that is on display in the space
center.” “Who put her there?”
Amelia asked. “A burglar did.”
He said.
Ashley, Akyra, and Amelia knew that their mom had been substituting for
a guard, and the burglar must of put her in there so he could steal
something. “Did he steal anything?” Akyra asked. “It was a she, and yes
she did.” He said. “What did she steal?” Akyra asked. “Ten moon rocks I
heard another guard say.” He answered. Akyra rushed into the museum
with her sisters not far behind. When she got to the ticket man, he asked
for a ticket, but when he noticed that it was her, he let them through.
They rushed to the space exhibit, to find one of the spacesuits moving.
“Mom!” They cried. Amelia freed her, and they all hugged. “Thank you for
finding me.” Their mom said. “I thought nobody would ever find me!”
They all went home, and had some ice cream with bananas.
