Silver Pumpkin

Silver Pumpkin

Before his guests came, Mr. Boddy was setting up a special Halloween for them. He decorated the hall with pumpkins. He even put a silver pumpkin there made out of real silver! Too make sure his guests did not take it. He glued it on the table  with super glue. He heard a ding dong. It was Colonel Mustard. He was wearing orange instead of his usual yellow. The next guest to come was Miss Scarlet who was wearing a witch hat and had black-painted fingernails on one hand and a black glove on the other. Mrs. White was next in a zombie-maid costume. He told her too meet in the study for a few minutes later. Mr. Green came in wearing a gold tuxedo and hat and yellow gloves. Mr. Green looked at Miss Scarlet and said, you are the only wearing their color. No said Miss Scarlet pointing a black-gloved hand out the window. Mrs. Peacock has her color. True, Mrs. Peacock was dressed as a peacock and had some blue on her costume. Mrs. Peacock was covered head to toe in her costume and had turquoise gloves on. Last but not least came in Professor Plum wearing an evil scientist costume. At least this time you did not forget about Halloween joked Mr. Green.

Later… Mrs. White was in the study with Mr. Boddy and he told her too keep an eye on the guests and the silver pumpkin. But the truth is that Mrs. White was not going to do that. She wanted the pumpkin for herself. Behind her back a guest had listened closely to their conversation through the secret passage: Miss Scarlet. Another thief had overheard Mr. Boddy as well. Mr. Green.

Hours later…

A thief wearing one glove snuck into the hall with the glowing candlestick. The thief used  the  candlestick to melt the superglue and managed to snatch the pumpkin. They put the candlestick where the pumpkin originally was. They ran out of the Hall and into the Halloween night.

WHO STOLE THE SILVER PUMPKIN?

Only two people watched Boddy talking to Mrs. White, Mr. Green and Miss Scarlet. The other guests thought the pumpkin was steel; not silver. Miss Scarlet was the only guest with one glove on so that makes her the thief.
