Chapter 10

Chapter 10 This was a tough case! Why was there only one shoe? Why was it so big? Why did it taste like old fish, the beach, rope, boats, treasure chests, the Seven Seas, and dirty feet? Suddenly I knew the answer! "AHA!" I shouted. "I have solved another BIG DEAL mystery!" "Do you know whose shoe this is?" asked Koko Dodo. "Yes! It belongs to a pegleg pirate."

"What's a pegleg pirate?" asked Koko Dodo. "A pegleg pirate is a pirate who has lost a leg. Maybe a shark ate the leg, or maybe a cannonball hit it. So he has one real leg and one wooden leg. He only needs one shoe." "But why a big shoe?" "Because he's a giant pegleg pirate." At this point, I expected Koko Dodo to thank me. He didn't.

"A giant pegleg pirate? That's all you've got? That's your solution? What I want to know is what to do about it!" "Ah," I said. "That is a different BIG DEAL mystery." "Can you solve it?" "Not right now," I said. "We have to go." "Why?" "Because Nina is eating your great-great-great- grandpop's super-secret cookbook."

By the time Koko Dodo got to her, she was swallowing the last page. Koko Dodo went nuts. He ran around in a circle flapping his tiny wings. "I'm ruined! Ruined! I can't bake cookies without my super-secret recipes!" We left quickly.
