about him solving cases.

“.......okay.....” said Kaitlyn in a small shaky
voice. She felt worried and scared about doing
acrobatics and wondered when her dad was
coming.
Kaitlyn slowly went into the dressing room and
asked the weird dresser for some performance
clothes. After changing, she slowly came out to the
stage. She was dressed in a pink tutu with a tiara on
her head. She shook in terror when she saw the tall
ladder on the stage.

they followed the directions on the
map.
In front of them was a large
golden gate, as tall as a giraffe.
“WOW, this place is fascinating!”
they both said at the same time.
They handed the ticket in the guard
and he opened the gigantic gate
for them. “You may go in”. he said.
Toto and Tutu ran in and
surprisingly, they realized they
were flying! “Big brother, look we
have wings!” They looked back
and on their very own back they
had tiny hamster wings!!! They
couldn’t believe it!! ‘The other
hamsters were right, this place is
really magical!’ Toto thought.

I don’t want to! I’m staying
here!” Tutu yelled! “What’s
wrong with you, you usually
don’t act like this! You’re going
home whether you like it or not!”
Toto said. So, sadly Tutu followed
her Big Brother’s directions and
flew out. They took one last sad
glance at the gate, and turned
around.
When they arrived home,
everything was the same way it
was before they had left for their
walk. “Huh???” Toto said.

and their mom and dad just left
smiling and laughing. “They
don’t believe us!” Tutu said. “It’s
okay, at least we know that we
went and we had fun, didn’t

Toto and Tutu’s Magical

being a secret and nobody
