So, like, today happened to be totally insane. Paul, you know, he totally made a big mistake again. I mean, come on, dude! This time he stole my favorite sweater without even saying anything.

A Day at the Park with Gracie and Paul

It was a beautiful day when Gracie and Paul decided to go to the park. They packed a lunchbox full of their favorite foods. At the park, they first went on the slide. Gracie laughed with joy as she reached for the sky. Paul was more interested in the jungle gym, building tall towers and digging deep holes.

They played around for a while, chasing each other through the grass. Later, they had their snack under the shade of a big willow. Gracie read a storybook while Paul drew pictures in his sketchpad.

As the afternoon went on, they observed the birds singing and the squirrels chattering around. They even saw a family of ducks swimming in the nearby lake. Finally, it was time to go home. Gracie and Paul were both content after their fun day at the park.

The Case of the Vanishing Treats

Gracie and Paul walked into the kitchen, their noses quivering with excitement. They were eager to enjoy a warm cookie straight from the oven. But as they reached here the cookie jar, their jaws dropped. It was empty! All the gooey cookies were gone.

"Who could have taken our cookies?" asked Gracie, her voice filled with horror. Paul scratched his head with confusion. He looked around the kitchen, scanning every corner for clues.

There was a scatter of crumbs leading out to the back door. Could it be?

Paul and Gracie followed the trail, their eyes wide with suspicion. They knew they had to find out who was behind this cookie crime!

• Perhaps a sneaky squirrel?
• Could it be a mischievous cat?
• A group of playful friends come over for a midnight snack?

Paul replied enthusiastically. They started sorting the pieces, talking about where they thought each piece fit.
