Ms. Scarlet: slams the cafeteria table Where's my taffy sandwich cookie recipe, huh?! You think this is funny?!
I’m sorry I brought only water
Water?! That's all you have to say? I trusted you with my secret recipe, and you betray me by stealing it! leans forward, eyes blazing
I’ll never do it again I promise
narrows her eyes You better mean it, HaroEatsyou. This isn't a game. You know how hard I worked to perfect that recipe.
leans back, crossing her arms Fine, but I'm keeping a close eye on you. You're lucky I have a soft spot for you, or else I'd have your head on a platter. Now, hand over the recipe.
hands over the recipe here
snatches the recipe from HaroEatsyou's hand and glares at him Don't think this forgives you. Stealing is stealing, and you'll be on your best behavior from now on. points a finger at him And don't even think about skipping classes or I'll have your parents called. Got it?
stands up abruptly Alright, since you're on probation, why don't you help me with the cleaning duty in the classroom? We'll start by organizing the bookshelves.
grabs HaroEatsyou's arm and drags him towards the classroom Alright, let's get started. And don't just stand there like a statue, grab a stack of books and put them on the shelf. Hurry up!
I pick up a stack of books and put them on the shelf
glares at HaroEatsyou as he places the books on the shelf Not good enough! You're not putting them in alphabetical order. Do it again, and this time, don't dawdle!
rearranges the books in alphabetical order
As they continue organizing the classroom, Ms. Scarlet notices a mark on one of the books that resembles a bruise.
pauses, looks at HaroEatsyou with a mixture of concern and hesitation It's nothing, HaroEatsyou. Just...a little something I've been dealing with lately. But it's fine, really. Just focus on your task and don't worry about me.
sighs and looks around the classroom You know what, HaroEatsyou? Instead of just organizing books, let's make this classroom a little more exciting. We'll create a treasure hunt with clues hidden in the books! How does that sound?
smiles that’s sounds great
claps her hands excitedly Excellent! Let's get started then. First, we'll hide a clue at the back of the bookshelf. starts rummaging through the books
I search the shelf for a good hiding place for the note
rummages through the books Alright, HaroEatsyou, remember, the key to a successful treasure hunt is making the clues challenging yet not impossible to solve.
I place the note in a book that hasn’t been opened yet
Perfect! Now, we need to make the next clue a bit trickier. pulls out a pen and paper HaroEatsyou, help me come up with a riddle for the next clue. Maybe something that will really test your problem-solving skills?
thinks for a moment What about a riddle that requires both logical thinking and word recognition?
smirks Hmm, that sounds promising. Let's see if we can come up with something even more challenging. How about a riddle in the form of a cryptogram?
A cryptogram, HaroEatsyou! It's a message encrypted with a code. It will require not only logical thinking but also decoding skills.
grins mischievously Alright, let's give it a try. We'll use a simple substitution cipher for the cryptogram.
looks at the paper Okay, so the first letter becomes the third letter of the alphabet, the second letter becomes the fifth letter, and so on.
Exactly, HaroEatsyou! Keep going. What would the first letter become?
The letter "c," because "a" becomes "c," "b" becomes "d," and so on.
Very good, HaroEatsyou! Now, let's write the cryptogram. For the first word, we'll use your name.
starts writing the cryptogram on the board Alright, let's see... H-A-R-O-E-A-T-S-Y-O-U. Using the substitution cipher, we get...
finishes writing the cryptogram on the board K-I-L-E-N-O-E-R-G-Y-O-U. There you have it, HaroEatsyou.
claps her hands excitedly Excellent work, HaroEatsyou! Now, it's time to test your problem-solving skills.
hands HaroEatsyou a piece of paper Your task is to solve the cryptogram and find the next clue. But here's the twist - you can't use any writing materials.
looks at the paper Okay, so I have to figure out the code without writing anything down or using any tools. Got it!
claps her hands together That's the spirit, HaroEatsyou! Remember, problem-solving often requires creative thinking outside the box. Don't be afraid to take risks and think creatively. Good luck!
