Billy had just finished his first day of 3rd grade. He was very excited because next week was show and tell and he couldn’t wait to bring in his goldfish and show her off to the class. His goldfish was named Maya and he won her at a fair 4 years ago.
The bus door opened and Billy jumped off running for his house. Warding off his parents questions about the day he bounded upstairs to feed his fish.
Later that day Billy’s parents went upstairs to check on Billy but he wasn’t there. To add to the mystery there was fish food on the floor and a fish net in the sink. Billy is generally very neat and does not leave the toilet seat up but today was an exception. Worst of all, Maya was gone. Confused, his parents took a picture of the mess and went back down stairs.
In the evening Billy came walking downstairs and sat down in the living room to do his homework. His parents confronted him about the state of the upstairs bathroom but a look of confusion came over Billy’s face. Even after they showed him the picture Billy denied he knew what happened. His parents went upstairs but everything was put back in order and Maya was back.
Puzzled, Billy’s parents called Detective Yosef Niam to bring the case of the missing fish to a close.
This mystery baffles me… the rest of the mystery scenarios pretty much explain themselves but I just can’t get this one. Maybe I’m stupid, but is the fish like a mutant fish or something? Did it leave by itself? Whatever the case, cool story! You’ve genuinely got me wondering.
