Rebekah,
Robby, and Angela lived in a mansion on the top of a mountain.
Instead
of their own rooms, each had their own floor. Rebekah had a room to play with
her cat, Angela had a room to play with her dog, and Robby had a room to play
his trombone.
The
mansion also had a firepole, a robot cook, and a roller coaster down the
mountain.
Besides
that, the mountain was hollowed out and there were even more rooms inside.
There was a ball pit room, a rope course room, and an antigravity room.
Because
the mansion was so wonderful, the kids had to be careful not to let strangers
inside because they might try to steal things.
One
night, the mansion kid’s parents were out on a date and the doorbell rang. On
the porch was a man with an egg shaped head.
“Hi,
Kids! I’m Bill the Inspector,” he said, “I’ve come to inspect your fire
alarms.”
“I’m
sorry, we can’t let strangers inside,” they said politely, and shut the door.
“I
don’t think he was telling the truth,” Rebekah said, “I think he is trying to
steal something.”
The
mansion kids waited for a few minutes, and then peeked through the curtains
of the front window.
Bill
hadn’t left. He was sneaking around the side of the house with a crowbar,
trying to get inside.
“What
are we going to do?” Angela cried.
“Let’s
trick him into going downstairs and get him stuck in one of the rooms,” Robby
suggested.
“Great
idea,” Rebekah exclaimed.
Soon
the kids heard Bill come through the back door, using a crowbar to break the
lock.
“Let’s
go downstairs to the money room and count the dollar bills,” Robby suggested
loudly.
“Okay,”
Rebekah and Angela replied.
Bill
fell for their trap and quietly followed the mansion kids downstairs,
underneath the mountain.
Suddenly,
the kids began to run down the hall and into the last door on the left. Bill
ran, too, because he really wanted to find the money room.
But
the kids had shut the door. Bill shouted, “Hey kids, it’s Bill the inspector.
I’ve come into the house and you can’t stop me now! Tell me where the money
room is.”
“We’ll
never tell, Bill.” The kids shouted back. “We’re not afraid of you.”
That
made Bill angry so he broke through the door and rushed in the room, only to
fall face first into a ball pit.
The
mansion kids were already on the other side of the room, where there was
another door. “You can’t catch us, Bill.” They teased as they ran through the
door.
Bill
stood and tried to follow them, but he tripped on all the balls and finally
had to crawl to the door.
The
next room was not the money room, but a rope course. The floor was actually a
trampoline, so if you fell off the ropes, you wouldn’t get hurt.
The
kids swung like moneys across the room to the door in the middle of the wall,
but Bill fell after the second rope.
After
bouncing and bouncing, Bill finally was able to grab onto a rope again and
swing his way to the next door. By this time he was very tired.
But
the last room was the anti gravity room! The second door was by the ceiling.
The kids had been in the room many times before, and they had learned to swim
through the air anywhere they wanted.
But
Bill was so far behind he did not see the kids and he could not figure out
how to move forward. So he floated straight up, and was stuck at the top.
“Help,
help, let me down,” he yelled.
“Oh,
we will let the police do that,” the kids said.
So Bill was arrested for breaking into the
house, and the mansion was safe once again.
