The Case of the Diligent Detectives begins with Bobby running the
meeting. It is his turn to be President. He wants the young
detectives to become more diligent in their investigations. He
overrules various suggestions for investigation and homes in on the
brown blotches that are appearing on the grass. He suspects that
alien spacecraft are hovering over the city at night and shining
powerful laser beams at the ground, thereby causing the death of
the grass in various places. He decides that he needs to sit in a
pup tent in the park and take photos of any flying saucers that
come by. The others agree to investigate but decide to trick him by
building a small flying saucer that they can float over his tent.
Dick builds the device and paints his hockey mask green. He gets
dressed in green pajamas. After dark, the three conspirators arrive
in front of Bobby's tent and start making alien noises. The trick
backfires. Bobby is not amused. The next night, to make up for
their insubordination, the three other detectives camp out and
investigate diligently. What happens has to be read to be believed.
The story provides an opportunity for the reader to learn Morse
code, a little French and the unexplained mysteries of aliens who
come in the night. The stories in the Private Investigators Club
series are "readers" for students of age eight or older. People of
any age who are learning English as a Second Language may find them
entertaining. Anyone interested in writing in English is invited to
produce another story in the series. Details are provided on the
Publisher's website. The Publisher wishes to encourage students to
do creative writing and will accept submissions on any topic.
Periodically, an eBook of submitted stories is published so this is
one way for you to become an established author.
