December 19th

Something new has appeared in the neighborhood!


It's a small red train car...

...but nobody knows whose it is or how it got here! The Handyman came up to the roof of the Grand Emporium this morning for a hot cocoa break from cleaning the carpet in the toy department (it's been really busy lately, hasn't it?) and he found the train car just sitting there!


He called up his sister the Saleslady, but it certainly wasn't hers, and they started to wonder just who was using their Emporium roof as a parking lot! They called Mr. Banks the alderman, so he could talk to the police and others at City Hall and find out if someone lost it.


Hmm... from the way they're hiding, it looks like Mayor Kurt and his girlfriend didn't expect such a crowd! I wonder what they were doing up on the roof so early in the morning? Anyway, they're both curious as to how the train car got there, too, so I guess it isn't theirs. Is there anyone else it could belong to? How about if everyone who saw it today keeps it a secret? Then, if anyone else in the neighborhood talks about it, it must mean they put it there, right?

  1. Perhaps they were doing tai chi, as people out here do that exercise in the park very early in the morning. Also, I am reminded of a massage therapist in NY who walked on people's backs while pressing up on the ceiling.
