Nate the Great and Crunchy Christmas

Nate the Great and Crunchy Christmas

I Nate the Great, am a detective. I do important things. Today I was doing something important. I was shoveling snow. My dog, Sludge, was chasing snowflakes. Suddenly I heard a jingling sound.

Annie was coming up our walk with her dog, Fang. Fang had bells on his collar and an elf hat on his head. " Doesn't Fang look cute?" Annie said. " Just like a giant elf. "

Sludge looked at me. I looked at Sludge. We both knew that all the bells and elves and jingles and jangles in the world could not make Fang look cute. Fang looked hungry. " Fang is not a happy elf, " Annie said. This was not good news. " Every year, two weeks before Christmas, Fang gets a Christmas card from his mother in the mail, " Annie said. " It is now a week before Christmas

and Fang has not received his card. " " Perhaps she didn't send it, " I said. " Would a mother forget Fang?" Annie said. I, Nate the Great, wished I could. " I need your help to find the card, " Annie said. " I have to shovel snow, " I said. Fang sat down and glared at me. I, Nate the Great, was thinking. It was the holiday season.
