My dad is the detective of Fairview town. Before I could have a talk with him, I needed one thing- evidence. I rushed to my room to find anything which can raise suspicion. Viola! I found the pebble which I had found earlier. I hurried downstairs and told about my piggy. Dad knew that Philip was a prankster. He was a master sling shooter.

"Philip must have done this." Dad muttered doubtfully. "Must have? He has done it!" I yelled. "How are you so sure?" Dad inquired. "I saw him giggling when I found the broken piggy." I said, calming down. "I will buy a new one for you", he said. At least dad had believed me!

The old plywood beneath me creaked and groaned, struggling to bear my weight. I tip toed silently to avoid any sound. Finally, I made into Philip's room. I went closer. Closer. Philip was sleeping soundly. Even in the darkness, I could make out that he was sobbing before going to sleep.
