First, we need to say thank you to our pals Buttons (and all the bears at Buttons BeCause), Bob T. Bear, Beanie and Hammie for the beautiful holiday cards that they sent! A beary special thank you to Ute and the whole flock for a special package of holiday goodies that we received...
...which is the reason for our mystery story. Ute's package contained some yummy chocolates (already gone), some cute holiday ornaments (already packed away for next year), and some delicious candies that we thought we could make last until Valentine's day, that was until today's mystery!
This morning, Ben was helping to make coffee. Jerry and Ben don't drink coffee, they prefer hot chocolate or tea with honey, but Ben likes to help around the kitchen, so he was carefully measuring the coffee: "I furst add skoups of kofee" he was explaining...
...when he noticed a shiny object in the living room. "Wat iz that thingee on tHe grownd?" he asked.
It looks like a kind of shiny piece of paper that was wrapped around something. "Itz a kandee rapper!" declared Ben. But wait, there were more things!
Lots of candy wrappers, in fact a trail of candy wrappers, and even some little Christmas ornaments from Ute's box. "Luks like we need Sandy Sherlock to hulp uz sulv thiz mysturee!" noted Ben. He continued, "Hey, letz fullow that trale!" So Ben followed the trail of candy wrappers, only to discover...
Jerry! Ben discovered Jerry lying on the carpet, surrounded by candy wrappers! Jerry appeared to have such a full tummy that he was groaning a little. "He ate two manee kandees!" said Ben, who then shook his head.
Well blog pals, the mystery is solved. "Elumentaree, My deer blog pals" giggled Ben.
Hi Ben, Just tip Jerry over and see if he has a little curly piggy tail beginning to grow. He WAS just a little bit greedy! Did he leave a candy or two for you? Hope so.

So, it looks like Jerry is the sneeky one, eh?
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Glad you had a nice Christmas and New Years.
@ Jenann, Yes Jenann, we shared the other treats, they were delicious!
ReplyDelete@ Buttons, I'm afraid so Buttons, but Jerry couldn't resist the tasty candies, he has a bit of a sweet tooth.
Good job Ben!! You are a beary good Sherlock!
ReplyDeleteHihi! Why waiting till Valentine`s day... We hope that Jerry is feeling well after all the sweets and left some for Ben :-) Hugs from Germany
