It was a sunny Sunday morning. Detective Syrup was having a great morning so far. He woke up on time, had a great shower, and everything was going well until breakfast. Detective Syrup eats pancakes with Maple Syrup for breakfast every day. But today the 5 bottles of Maple Syrup he had gotten were gone!

"Who would have stolen my Maple Syrup," cried Detective Syrup. "I must investigate everybody in this house!" So he did, he investigated his entire family.

He investigated his entire family in the kitchen. He investigated his mom, his dad, his grandparents, and his sister. One person was not there though, his brother!

Nobody knew where the Maple Syrup went, but his brother was not there. He was feeling hopeless until he saw a trail of Maple Syrup in his backyard.

Detective Syrup started following the trail of syrup. The trail started from his backyard to his driveway. "Why does the trail lead to the driveway?"
