Cookies For Sale

By Nate Feldman 

Adam is at home. He hears a knock at the door. He goes to the door and opens it. A young girl is there. Her name is Alexa. She is selling girl scout cookies.

Adam: Yes, may I help you?

Alexa: My name is Alexa Smith. I come from girl scout troop number 514. Are you interested in buying some girl scout cookies? I have all of the flavors: smores, thin mints, shortbread, and peanut butter cookies.

Adam: Sure, come in. I love girl scout cookies.

Alexa comes into Adam’s living room. She carries her boxes of cookies in a brown grocery bag. Adam goes to get his wallet. He comes back with it.

Adam: How much is it per box?

Alexa: $5 a box.

Adam reaches into his wallet and a $20 bill comes out.

Adam: I’ll take four boxes. One of each kind.

Alexa reaches into the bag and hands him one box of each type of cookie. Adams hands her the $20.

Alexa: Thank you for buying the cookies. A lot of people haven’t bought the cookies today.

Adam: How come? They are delicious.

Alexa: I don’t know. A lot of people aren’t home.

Adam: That’s a surprise. Anyway, thanks for coming over. Come back some other time.

Alexa: Absolutely, I will.

Adam takes Alexa to the door and watches as she leaves.

Someone Took My Wallet By Nate Feldman It is a normal day at the police station. Officer Richards is sitting behind his desk. He is having a cup of coffee and taking it easy. Suddenly, a man comes into the station. He is distressed. “Officer,” he says. “Someone took my wallet.” “OK,” the officer says. “Where did this happen?” “I was taking the train to work,” the man says. “When I got off the train, my wallet wasn’t there. Someone took it.” “OK,” says officer Richards. “Are you sure someone took it? Maybe it fell out.” “No, there was a man taking the train with me. He ran into me. He put his hands on me and said he was sorry. I think he took the wallet then .” “ OK,” replies officer Richards. “Did you take a picture of him with your phone or something?” “No, unfortunately not,” answers the man. “This case may take time to solve then,” says officer Richards.
