The Orchid Thief

The Orchid Thief

Biff, Chip, Wilf and Wilma went to Holly Blue Fen Nature Reserve.

Sally, the Nature Ranger, met them. "You can count butterflies," said Sally. Wilma wanted to see the orchids. "I'll show you one later," said Sally.

The children counted butterflies. They ticked the list each time they saw one. "I have seen five of the blue ones," said Chip. "And three of these."

"We've counted loads of butterflies!" said Wilma. "Can we see the orchids now?" Sally took them to see one of the orchids. "It's been dug up!" she gasped.

Sally was upset. She went off to report the stolen orchid. "Who would do that?" said Biff. "What's that man doing?" asked Chip. "Is he digging something up?"
