| I hope that your son is as strong as a mighty oak. (That's a traditional Distant Lands greeting!) Guess what -- me and Davey solved the Mystery of Sleepy Cave! It turns out Old Man McCarthy was dressing up as a ghost to try to trick Mrs. O'Donnell out of her secret family cake recipe. He said he'd have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for our meddling. Today we were sitting around the fort and Chuckie said we should do a raid on the fort that the kids from the other side of town made. It sounded like a good idea until Marky pointed out that Big Ollie is in their gang. That took the wind out of our sails pretty quick! That guy is HUGE, and I bet he has to shave like twice a day. So we built a snake pit in case they decide to raid us. |
