Title: The Case of the Missing Cupcake

In the quiet little town of Maplewood, something strange was going on at Sunnydale Elementary School. It was Friday, and the students of Class 3B were having their weekly "Fun Snack Friday." Everyone was excited because Mia had brought her famous triple-chocolate cupcake with rainbow sprinkles.

When lunchtime arrived, Mia opened her lunchbox - and gasped.

"My cupcake is GONE!" she cried.

Her best friend Max looked around suspiciously. "This looks like a case for... the Snack Detectives!"

Max and Mia quickly formed a team. They put on their detective hats (well, Max's baseball cap turned backward and Mia's headband with a feather). They were ready to solve The Case of the Missing Cupcake.

Clue #1: Crumbs on Desk 7

They found a trail of chocolate crumbs leading from Mia's desk to Desk 7 - where Jake sat.

"Jake, did you eat my cupcake?" Mia asked.

Jake held up his hands. "No way! I had a cookie today. Ask Lily - she saw me eat it!"

Lily nodded. "Yep, he was munching on it during math class."

Clue #2: Rainbow Sprinkles on the Floor

Next, they spotted a few rainbow sprinkles near the art supply cabinet.

"That's suspicious," Max said.

They opened the cabinet slowly... and out popped Coco the class hamster! He had a tiny sprinkle stuck to his whiskers.

"He's cute," Mia laughed, "but I don't think he can open lunchboxes."

"True," Max agreed. "Let's keep looking."

Clue #3: Sticky Fingers

Back at their desks, Max noticed something on Emma's notebook. A shiny fingerprint made of... chocolate?

"Emma, do you know anything about the missing cupcake?" Max asked kindly.

Emma looked embarrassed. "I didn't mean to take it. I thought it was an extra! I only took half and left the rest in the cubby."

They rushed over and checked Mia's cubby - and sure enough, there was half a cupcake, slightly squished but still delicious.

Mia smiled. "It's okay, Emma. Next time, just ask. But thanks to you, Max, we solved the mystery!"

Max beamed. "Just doing my job. Snack Detectives never rest!"

And from that day on, if anything ever went missing in Class 3B, the Snack Detectives were always on the case.
