Chapter 4

Read it out loud! Tabi said

Ok it says:

Look in the hat,

It may be under your cat,

And you may see,

Another part of this mystery.

Signed guess who,

Toodaloo!

Look under the hat? And we don’t have a cat! And how would it STILL be under the cat even if we did have one by the time we see it? Rachel reasoned.

Well do you have a figurine of a cat or a picture of one or something? Tabi asked.

Hey! Yah! There is that picture in the entry way of a cat. Rachel remembered. But I don’t think that there’s a hat under it but I’ll check. Come!

So they ran to the entryway and saw that Rachel’s dad was just getting back from work day at the chapel.

Hi Dad! Rachel said as he came in the door. Hey! You’re wearing a hat! Can I see your hat for a sec? Hey! Tabi it’s taped in here!

Hey! What’s all the commotion about? Rachel’s dad asked.

Well you see we have had a exciting day around here. Rachel explained and told him everything that had happened that day.

Well sounds like you have had a pretty interesting day girls! But I for one want to see what’s in this riddle here. Dad said

Ok here is what it says:

Look in the room behind the clock,

It probably goes tick and tock,

You may have to say good-bye and farewell,

If this riddle is a little to swell!

Signed Guess Who,

Toodaloo!

(PS: Please solve this riddle tomorrow!)

Well it’s just as well said Rachel. Because I’m starting to get hungry and then I’m sure I’ll be tired! Come on lets see if dinner’s ready!

It was so they went and ate dinner (Rachel’s mom had done their parts.)

Tabi? Do you think your mom would let you come tomorrow too? It’ll be Saturday and so we won’t have school. I’m gona try to get Samantha and Erin to come too. Then ya’ll could come to spend the night at my house so we could work on the riddle. Rachel asked

Yah she probably wouldn’t mind. But I’ll call you first thing in the morning if she says no. Tabi said I need to go now my mom’s probably wondering where on earth I am by now! Bye Rachel!

Ok! Bye Tabi!
