Nate the Great and the Phony Clue

Nate the Great and the Phony Clue

I Nate the Great, am a great detective. I have just solved a big case. It did not look like a big case when it started this morning.

My dog, Sludge, and I were running around the block for exercise. We ran past Annie and her dog, Fang. We ran past Rosamond and three of her cats.

We ran past Finley and his friend Pip. We ran home. I saw a piece of paper on my doorstep. I picked it up. It was thin paper. VITA was printed in ink on it. The paper was torn off around VITA.

What did it mean? I got my dictionary. I looked up " vita. ” I found that “ vita” could be the start of a word.
