A New Plan

Mike looked at the field. “The groundskeepers?” he asked.

Kate nodded. “They have lots of equipment in that area,” she said. “Maybe they were there when the horses and wagon got back. One of them could have dog-napped Louie when Manny and Tommy were loading the horses on the truck.”

“What a good idea! We need to check it out,” Mike said. Then he looked up for a moment. “Hey, that might actually be a great idea!”

“What do you mean?” Kate asked as she twirled a strand of her long brown hair around her finger.

“When you said ‘groundskeepers,’ I just remembered we saw one when we first went to visit the horses,” Mike said. “He was standing near the door to the field and he was eating peanut butter! Maybe we could see if it matched the peanut butter I found on the ground!”

“How would we do that?” Kate asked. “How can we match peanut butter?”

“It’s easy,” Mike said. “Crunchy or creamy! The stuff I found on the ground was crunchy. It had bits of peanuts in it. If we can find the jar of peanut butter that groundskeeper was eating, we can see if it matches.”

Suddenly, the crowd roared. With one man on base and two outs, the Cardinals batter had hit a single!

“Hang on,” Mike said. “Red’s up next! We’ve got to watch this. He might set a new record!” Mike clapped and cheered with the rest of the crowd. “Let’s go, Cardinals!” he yelled.

Kate jumped up and down. “Let’s go, Cardinals!” she said. “¡Vamos los Cardenales!” Kate was teaching herself Spanish and liked to practice it whenever she could.
