1. The Mystery of Missing Small
Fry
Big Wig was looking for Mickey, the Small Fry.
He looked everywhere but could not find him …

Small Fry had vanished,
Like fleas on a dog.
Big Wig scratched his head
And rubbed his eye.

without a reason?”
“It is not your job to hunt for him. He is gone without a trace,” an
inner voice told him.

Fry!” Big Wig shouted aloud.
So Big Wig went spying! He walked on the street
and took out his spy glass.
