Cam closed her eyes and said, “Click.” Then she said, “Come on, Eric. The giraffes are right down this road.”

Cam started to run off again.

“Stop! Just stop,” Eric called out. “I ran with you to get the guard and I ran back to the monkey house. I did that twice. Then I ran here. I’m not running anyplace else unless you tell me what’s going on.”

Cam stopped. She turned and told Eric, “When I saw the guard riding a cart, I knew where the monkeys were. They’re in an ice-cream cart. Those ice-cream men ride all over the zoo. And if you take the ice cream out, there’s room in one of those carts for two or three monkeys.”

“Maybe one of the guards with carts stole the monkeys,” Eric said.

Cam shook her head. “The guards have keys. A guard wouldn’t have to cut the lock.”

“But how will we get to see if the ice-cream man has any monkeys in his cart?” Eric asked.

“We can listen for strange noises coming out of the cart. Or we can tell the man we want to buy some ice cream. I’ll bet he says, ‘Sorry, I’m all out.’ ”

Cam smiled and asked Eric, “Will you come with me now?”

Eric nodded and they ran together toward the giraffes.
