It was teachers only day on friday, all the teachers were meeting each other and saying hellos. After they have set themselves they started to get the classrooms looking like it was never a lockdown. When it was morning tea, Mrs Aperahama put down a basket of lollies, and left her office. As Quiet as a mouse someone came into her office and took all of the lollies, but there were some cules. That person that took the lollies left muddy footprints all over the carpet.
When Mrs Aperahama came in with a cup of warm coffee. She also had Miss M with her. Mrs Aperahama was as shocked as my little brother. Miss M saw it and asked Mrs Aperahama what happened. Mrs Aperahama replied like it was all just a dream. She said “before I went to get my coffee, I had a basket of lollies on my chair, now it's gone, those lollies were for the kids, as a welcome back to school treat.”
Miss M was devastated. She knew who tooked it but didn’t know that the lollies were for the kids. So Miss M had an idea. She told Mrs Aperahama this “Look Sarah, I saw a staff member dropping a lolly wrapper into the bin in the staff room, maybe that will help.”
When it was lunch Mrs Aperahama told all the teachers. She was as mad as a group of walrus on an ice float. Two teachers said that they knew who did it, Miss Hickling and Mrs B. Mrs Aperahama and Miss M asked them to be left behind so that they could talk about the theft.
Mrs Aperahama asks them to come into her office one by one. First was Miss Hickling, she said “ I saw you leaving out of your office at morning tea and saw Mrs B going into your office. When she came out, in her hand, I saw a little colored paper, it looked like a candy wrapper tho. That time was when I was going to print out some coloring paper for the kids.”
Mrs Aperahama was a bit confused but she said to Miss Hickling to please leave and come back soon.
After doing some writing of what Miss Hickling just said, next was Mrs B. Mrs B said that she just came out of the Toilet, and saw a black person going into Mrs Aperahama’s office. I saw Miss Hickling going to the photocopier, but she just stood there and was looking at the thief. That’s all, Mrs Aperahama told Mrs B to come back later,
Miss M was next, she was As nervous as she was about to give a speech out. Mrs Aperahama asked her to come in. when she saw Miss M, Straightaway she knew it was her. “Helen, I know it’s you, you got chocolate all over your face!” They started laughing as if some had told them a joke. When Miss Hickling and Mrs B heard them they both ran speedy to Mrs Aperahama’s office. When they got there they both yelled “WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING? DID YOU GUYS GET THE GUY WHO GOT THE LOLLIES?! TELL US!”
Mrs Aperahama said “ that guy in black you said is Miss M”
When Miss Hickling and Mrs B saw the chocolate all over her face, they both started laughing.
The end.
