Early Birthday Present!


Hola! Como estas? Me llamo Emmi. Hehe. :) It is my birthday soon (November 12), but I have already gotten a present! Today Luci (my cousin) was garage sale-ing and saw a magnifying glass for $15. It was blue!! That is my favorite color. Luci was going to wait till my actual birthday, but could not ponder for that long. I was ecstatic when she handed me a box that said Willards Looking Glass & Co. I knew what that was... how could I not have! They are the leading seller of professional magnifying glasses - used by real detectives! The normal prices of these goods are about $75! The people at the garage sale told Luci they would sell it for $15 because of constant wear and use. I screamed and hugged Luci, but not for long! Before you knew it, I had ran outside to magnify anything I could find. Then I decided it was time to get serious...

I wasn't Emmi right now... I was "Emilee Magdeline Clara Dean - National Detective/Spy". However, I was traveling under the false name of "Silence J. McCint". (hehe) I snuck around the entire perimeter of England's greatest theft, Dr. Roger Russo's secret layer. With only a pair of rubber gloves, a magnifying glass, a bag, and a writing pad & pencil I had to find a way to break in. Alas, I had seen my chance. A false wall I had accidently leaned on crumbled. I was in. It was official. My life now depended on finding Lady Luci's diamond ring. I did some snooping... then, I saw something shimmering. It was the ring!! I grabbed it an ran. I heard a mischievous voice "Well, If it isn't Ms. Silence." I was caught...

"Emmi!" Luci called from the house. Time for dinner! I ran inside. What an adventure I had today! I told my family about it at dinner.
