《Where Is The Dog? 狗狗在哪里？》

宇宇和洋洋听到了狗叫声。但是，狗狗在哪里呢？一起去找找吧！

Two little boys, Ethan and Evan, heard a dog barking when they stepped into their grandfather’s house. Like all little boys, they wanted to play with the dog. But Grandpa told them that there was no dog in the house and that he was just as puzzled about the barking noise. Together, they set out to investigate where the “dog” was hiding. What they found surprised everyone.

《Who Stole Our Fruits? 谁偷了我们的水果？》

花园里的果树长了很多水果，但是宇宇和洋洋发现水果被偷吃。到底小偷是谁呢？一起来看看吧！

In Grandpa’s garden, there are many fruit trees. In this story, the fruits were ripening, and soon the two boys would have plenty of fruits to eat. Some should be ready for picking in the next week.

But one morning, the boys saw rambutan skins and many half-eaten ripe rambutans on the ground. They were surprised but not too concerned, as there was plenty of fruit on the trees. The next morning, they saw a big hole in a ripe papaya. It was still hanging from the papaya tree. Someone had eaten it.

On the following day, they saw the same damage to the mangoes on the mango tree. They noticed that the fruits were always “stolen” at night. Disappointed, our “little detectives” decided to investigate. They asked Grandpa for help, and together they stayed awake that night to catch the fruit thief if he came to steal the ripening bananas. And what a discovery they had.

《Have You Seen The Turtle? 你见到乌龟了吗？》

一天晚上，男孩们被下水道发出的刮擦声吓了一跳。他们在调查之后，发现声音是来自下水道里的一只乌龟。那群男生意识到它可能是某人的宠物，因此便救了那只乌龟，把它放在盒子里，等待主人来取回。不过，在接下来的三天里，乌龟却莫名地失踪了。男孩们为了找回乌龟，开始了一个营救任务。虽然乌龟最后找到了，但是却依旧每人来认领。在第四天，乌龟又再次失踪了。数日后的一个早晨，男孩们却在一个意想不到的地方找到了乌龟。

One evening, the boys were startled by a scratching sound coming from the drain. When they investigated, they were pleasantly surprised to see a turtle poking its head out of the leaves in the drain. Aware that it could be somebody’s pet, the boys rescued the turtle and placed it in a box to wait for its owner to come and take it back. But over the next three days, the turtle would go missing, and the boys embarked on a seek and rescue mission until they found it. Meanwhile, no one came to claim the missing pet. On the fourth day, it went missing again, and it could not be found for the next few days until one morning… the boys found it. You would never have guessed where it went.

《What Happened To Goldie? 晶晶怎么了？》

爷爷买了一只金色的小鲤鱼让男孩们放进池塘里。虽然这只鲤鱼是池里最小的一个，但是和其他鱼在池塘里游着时依然十分漂亮。男孩们十分喜爱那只小鲤鱼，给它取名Goldie。男孩们每天都喜欢看着Goldie在池里游着，直到有一天Goldie失踪了。Goldie是否被人偷走了，还是发生了什么意外？男孩们都十分懊恼。他们下定决心解开谜底，因此便整理出了可能是罪魁祸首的名单，并通过排除法找出真凶。不过，他们却在过程中得罪了真凶。

Grandpa bought a gold-coloured baby koi fish for the boys to add to the fish in the pond. It is the smallest fish but it looked pretty swimming with the rest of the fish. The boys loved it and named it Goldie. They enjoyed looking at it every day. But one day, they could not see Goldie. What happened to it? Did someone take it away? That’s the mystery the boys set out to solve. They thought about the possible culprits, and they eliminated the possibilities one by one until they found the answer. But not before upsetting the “suspects.”
