Rudy and the Alien Cat Food Bowl

by Arthur Shemitz, age 6

"Detective Rudy speaking," I (Rudy) said, "You say your cat food bowl is an alien?"

My cat friends had got together all of the money all of them had and found that they had enough to buy a nice telephone. So I was talking to my friend Katrin.

"KATRIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Detective! Detective!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh sorry Kudy. Oh sorry Mudy. Oh sorry Budy."

"THAT DOES IT! ONE MORE INSULT AND I WON'T BE A DETECTIVE FOR YOU ANYMORE KATRIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh, like I want one," said Katrin.

I hung up. "That cat," I said.

Just then Maxx ran in. "Hi, Rudy," he said.

"Oh, hi," I said.

"Katrin just said that her cat food is an alien," said Maxx.

"Her cat food bowl is an alien. I'm going to solve that case," I said.

Maxx said, "You will? Cool!"

I said, "Ummmmm ... Maxx?"

"Yes?" said Maxx.

"You don't seem to be yourself now," I said.

Maxx waved his tail (what tail?) and said, "Huh? How can I not be myself?"

"Easy," I said.

Maxx said, "How?"

"Tell you later," I said, "and bye." I left. Maxx did the same.

A few minutes later I was at Katrin's house. "Eek!" I said, "it is an alien!"

"Told you so!" said Katrin.

The cat food bowl was running around. Then we both said "Eek!"

A few hours later we had solved the case: The humans had tied a string to the cat food bowl -- when pulling the string the cat food bowl ran.

"Case closed," I thought.

Epilogue:

"Oh all right," I said, you can be my assistant."

"Hurray!" said Katrin. Katrin then took the cat food bowl as a souvenir.

* The End *
