Adventure in the cub scouts camp

It was a hot and sunny day at the cub scouts camp.

“I am hot”, said Tom.
“Let’s go to the BB guns”, said Bob.

Tom and Bob were cub tigers in pack 827. With their pack, they had come to the camp. They went off to the BB gun range. They enjoyed shooting the BB guns and after that they went to the Nature Center.

Tom and Bob liked mystery stories and always wanted to solve a mystery. They had been on three camps. When they reached the Nature Center, everybody was upset there. They heard that the big metallic piranha was stolen! A person found a spot empty and found out that the piranha was missing.

As Tom and Bob liked to solve that mystery, they set off on that case. They decided to explore the area around the Nature Center for clues. They found a nature trail that started near the Nature Center. They spotted footprints on the dirt near the trail.

They followed the footprints further and then spotted two men wearing black suits. Tom and Bob suspected that those men were robbers. The two men were carrying a bag that was bulging with a piranha shape inside. They were moving slowly as the bag seemed to be heavy.

Tom and Bob came up with a plan. Their plan was for Tom to get the BB guns and Bob to setup a trap for the robbers in the nature trail.

Tom went to the BB gun center and borrowed two BB guns. He told the staffers that he needed the BB guns for a play they were doing in the evening.

Meanwhile, Bob went around the robbers collecting wet leaves. He found a steep slope and decided that the robbers would have difficulty in going down that slope. So he set up the trap on the slope. He put the wet leaves in the slope. He found a puddle of water nearby. He splashed that water on the slope to make it slippery.

Then Bob went back to join Tom. Tom gave one of the BB guns to Bob. They went to the robbers and followed them to the slope. When the robbers stepped on the slope, Tom and Bob shouted and ran to the robbers.

The robbers got scared and started running down the slope. As the slope was slippery, they slipped and fell. Tom grabbed the bag and found the metallic piranha inside. Tom and Bob shouted for help and scoutmasters and staffers came running. They captured the robbers and then took them to the police.

Tom and Bob showed everybody the metallic piranha and it was returned to the Nature Center. Everybody was happy and cheered. The scoutmasters gave Tom and Bob a trophy.
