“But Mercy’s head, of course, was not there. Mercy Watson was missing! How terrible! How unbelievable! Something must be done! Mr. Watson dialed the police. “Officer Tomilello here,” said Officer Tomilello. “Officer Tomilello, this is Mr. Watson over on Deckawoo Drive. Mercy has gone missing.” “Are you speaking of your pig?” said Officer Tomilello. And then the police officer answered his own question. “You are speaking of your pig.” “Yes, yes,” said Mr. Watson, who was now frustrated beyond all measure. “I’m speaking of my pig.” “Are missing pigs a police department matter?” said Officer Tomilello.”

“That was the assignment Mrs. Jewls put up on the board. Dana’s picture showed a giraffe studying a map. She had drawn a large question mark over the giraffe’s head. Her book report only had to be one page, but she had written two whole pages. The Lost Giraffe was her favorite book ever! Now all she needed was a paper clip. She searched her desk. She found quite a few pencils, mostly broken. There were lots of eraser bits and crayon nubs. There was also a crumb-covered pink piece of paper that had come off the bottom of a cupcake. “Oh no, oh no, oh no,” she moaned as she continued to search. She raised her hand. “Yes, Dana,” said Mrs. Jewls. “I need a new paper clip.” “But I gave you one at the beginning of the year,” said Mrs. Jewls. “I know, Mrs. Jewls. I’m sorry. I just can’t find it!” Mrs. Jewls sighed. “I’m very disappointed in you, Dana.”
