Who Dunnit story



This is my story:

Mr Bob was an older man, he was short and chubby just like his grandfather. His hair was like grey stalks of grass which matched his long blue overalls and his red-checkered flannel shirt. His friend Jimmy Slop was the opposite of Mr Bob, he was a beanstalk that was at least 6 foot! He was young and had soft brown hair that swayed in the wind. Jimmy worked for Mr Bob and helped him feed his beloved cow Buttercup and all the pigs. He got paid 50c an hour, and Jimmy was happy with that since no other person would hire him with a record of shoplifting, but Mr Bob had hope in him so he would try his best to please him.

Mr Bob was down in the paddock feeding Buttercup in his field of Buttercups as Jimmy arrived. Jimmy came running out of the car and as he reached Mr Bob he was breathing hard as he had been in a rush. “Mr Bob have you heard the news?” Jimmy asked between breaths, “What news?” Asked Mr Bob in his old gruff voice as he leaned against the fence, “There is a man around here stealing cows, I thought you would like to know as soon as you can” Jimmy said as sitting down. Buttercup came over and licked him till she had a taste of sunblock and staggered back in surprise. “ Thanks for telling me but we have good security, the pigs are always awake all night and they will scream at anything that goes past!”, Jimmy laughed “all right Mr Bob I will see you tomorrow after I finish up here I have a concert to get to!”

Mr Bob grabbed his PJ’s and went to the shower, he really needed a warm steamy shower tonight after the pigs had dumped him in the mud and licked him so he was a muddy puddle!

RING RING RING! Mr Bob grabbed a towel raped himself up and grabbed his phone, “Hello Bob speaking” Said Mr Bob, “Hello this is Annie and I am part of the council and it is my job to ring all the farmers in this area to warn them about a guy who is going around stealing cows. We have people going around all around the area looking for this person but be careful and be on the lookout because I saw you and Buttercup in the paper and it looks like you love her Darley, so have a good day and bye.” Mr Bob replied with “ thank you and I have good security, bye!” After eight more phone calls, Mr Bob went to lay down in bed. After about five minutes lying in bed, Mr Bob decided he would not get to sleep and it was about two in the morning.

Mr Bob grabbed his dressing gown and went out the door down to Buttercups paddock, when Mr Bob got there he was surprised because Buttercup was not out in the paddock where she always sleeps. Mr Bob thought she must have just been a bit cold so he went to check her shed. In the shed, he saw a big hump and said good night to Buttercup the hump and walked back to the house.

After he new Buttercup was safe he slept through the whole night with no dreams at all. When he woke he got up to go feed Buttercup but when he got to the paddock again she must have been in her shed, Mr Bob walked to her shed and found a cow standing there, but this cow was not Buttercup this cow was a completely different cow. After a little of standing there staring at this new cow Mr Bob heard Jimmy pull up the driveway and hop off his car, “Jimmy” Mr Bob called in a wobbly voice, “what is it Mr Bob, is Buttercup sick should I call the vet?” Jimmy asked unsurely. Jimmy had never heard this tone of voice come from Mr Bob and it clicked just as Mr Bob said “GONE, she’s gone!” Mr Bob yelled, “ No she can’t be but the pigs the, the the”. “ She’s gone Jimmy and they gave me this stupid cow” Mr Bob was freaking out now.

Jimmy got Mr Bob inside and drinking a cup of coffee well he called the police. RING RING!

“ Hello Mary speaking,” said the lady on the phone “What are you calling about today?” “Hello my name is Jimmy and my friend Bob has had his cow Buttercup stolen” Mary seemed to think for a second, “OK I will send some cops down soon OK?”

“OK thank you bye” And Jimmy hung up. Jimmy went into the kitchen to make another phone call that Mr Bob did not know was about.

The cop’s arrived at last and calmed Mr Bob then went off to try and find Buttercup before dark. Mr Bob got up and went to sit in Butter Cups field for an hour or two. After two hours of crying, he got up and went to walk home but on his way back to the fence he found a note. The note said “If you want your silly cow back find another note at the Blue river” Mr Bob gasped he had a chance to get his Butter Cup back!

He arrived at the Blue river at eleven o’clock and he found a note that said “ your cow is somewhere big but unknown to most people” Mr Bob also noticed that there was an oil stain on the note and he knew where Butter Cup was!

He got to the factory at one in the morning and he snuck in. He found Butter Cup in a cage. Lucky the lock was easy to pick. He and Butter Cup were almost there he could see outside when a deep voice said: “where are you going with that cow?”

Jimmy was going to the factory, he could not let Mr Bob know that he had helped his cow be stolen because he knew the pigs would not snort at him.

The man had taken the Butter Cup again and now he was locked up too. He opened his eyes and as he did he saw his cell door open and Butter Cup standing there!

He and Butter Cup lived a happy life and Mr Bob had to fire Jimmy but they were still friends!
