The Missing Notebook

The missing tights mystery was not that hard. Detective Rebecca wanted more excitement. She wanted to solve a harder mystery. Then here comes a harder one. Her notebook, in which she started to write her second fiction, was missing.

The notebook was a birthday present from her friend. It has black hard covers with a whitle letter "r" on the front. Gabby liked this notebook so much that she always wanted to have it. Mommy bought her a similar one. Gabby's notebook also has black hard covers, but no letter on the front. Without the letter, Gabby thought it was different from her sister's. So Mommy had Rebecca to write a letter "g" on the front using a white paint.

Rebecca noticed her notebook was missing when Mommy asked her to do some writing and she couldn't find the notebook. This was a harder mystery because no one knew when the notebook was missing

Mommy: Where did you put your notebook after you were done with your writing last time?
Rebecca: On the table.
Mommy: Mm ...

Mommy: You didn't take it. I didn't take it. Your Daddy didn't take it. Who could take it in this house?
Rebecca: Gabby! She always wants to have it.
Mommy: Where did she put it?
Rebecca: I don't know.

To ask Gabby where she put the notebook was probably the best way to find the notebook, but she didn't remember she ever took the notebook. So she was no help.

Mommy: What did you and Gabby recently play in the house?
Rebecca: Traveling.
Mommy: You packed the green frogy backpack when you played traveling, didn't you?

Rebecca looked at the green frogy backpack, and Mommy smiled.

Mommy: Go and check the backpack.

Rebecca went to the backpack. She opened it. Inside the backpack she found her missing notebook.

After solving two mysteries, Detective Rebecca feels quite confident to solve any mystery in the house.
