The Mystery of the Missing Cake. Last Saturday, Mrs. Smith baked a big chocolate cake for her grandson, Billy. It was his birthday. The cake was on the kitchen table. At 3 o’clock, Mrs. Smith went to the shop to buy candles. She was away for only twenty minutes. When she came back, the kitchen window was open, and the cake was gone! Mrs. Smith called her cat, Whiskers. The cat was sleeping on the sofa. Then she looked at the dog, Rex. Rex was sitting near his bowl, but he looked very strange.
