Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Who did it?" shouted the Countess Zuzu Poodle-doo. "Who did it?" murmured the butler, MC FunkyFoot, very properly. "Who did it?" demanded Sergant Sniff. "Yum yum, this coal is dee-licious!" said Nina. "Nina, stop eating the coal. It's a precious natural resource!" I shouted. "Would you stop shouting at that goat and tell us who did it?" said everybody.

"Well," I admitted, "I can't tell you exactly WHO did it, but I can give you a description." "I guess that's better than nothing," said Sergeant Sniff, taking out a notebook. "Go ahead." "First," I said. "The criminal must be very fast to be just a blur on the camera." "Hmm," said Sergeant Sniff, looking around the train station. "Second, the criminal must be very nimble to dodge all those laser-beam alarms." "Hmmmm!" said Sergeant Sniff, gazing in the general direction of Nina. "Third, the criminal must be very sure-footed to jump on and off a moving train." "Hmmmmmm!" said Sergeant Sniff, staring right at Nina. "And, finally," I said, "the thief is not a dog but is an animal with large, tough claws or even... hooves."

"HMMMM!" said Sergeant Sniff, glaring into Nina's big brown eyes. "OH NO!" I shouted. "What's the problem?" asked Nina. And she very smoothly jumped off the locomotive, nimbly took another bite out of the butler's hat while in mid-air, and sure-footedly landed on her hooves. "YOU are under arrest for the theft of the golden pickle paperweight!" hollered Sergeant Sniff, snapping a pair of hoof-cuffs around Nina's front legs. "Big steal," said Nina.
