One day there was a family. Two of the youngest kids had an 826 Drop-in Writing class. Right after school they went to Ann Arbor. Their writing class was a two-session class. So this time they were going to the second session of the class.

The girl was two years older than the other person, which was a boy. The other one was a girl. The little boy was eight years old. The girl was ten years old. They went to the workshop.

The girl remembered that she saw a cool toy that she wanted to play with, but the boy in front of her (who was closer) took the toy that she wanted to play with. She was very upset. She wanted to ask the boy for it back, but she thought that it would be rude. So she did not say anything to the boy that took it before her. She did not say anything or do anything, except watch the other boy play with it the whole writing class.



But at the next writing class she was trying to look for it instead of the boy taking it from her. When she found it, she found it on a tall shelf. She reached for it very hard. She felt a huge weight coming off of her shoulders. She was very, very, very happy that she got the toy that she wanted to play with at the first time. The instructor told all of them to get a piece of paper to write a mystery. So when she went to go get a paper, she came back after she got a paper. And then she noticed that the toy that she got from the high shelf was missing! She was very worried and upset again. Then she later saw her younger brother had the toy that she was looking for. She asked the brother what she did with it. The brother said, “Nothing!” The older sister looked at the younger brother very, very, very mysteriously. The older sister said, “I know you took it! So where is it?
