A House Fire

Crash! Boom! What's happening? Ping! Ping! Ping! Noooooooooooo! Whoa! Bob wakes up from his dream. Already 8:00am! I have to go to school! Bob goes to school and has a wonderful time. Although, while he is at school, a hooded man climbs the front steps to his house and lights it on fire. When Bob gets home he sees the last of his house burning down. A crime! Bob loves crimes! Except he doesn't like them done to him. The only witness was a neighbor putting out the trash. But why would the robber want anyone to know? Hmmmmmm. Got it! Because he was the neighbors' friend! Wait. The only person it could possibly be is Sam Belt. There are no robbers around. Just to be sure Bob decided to get a magnifying glass. Bob could see faint footsteps and then followed the footsteps to Sam Belt's house. Knock. Knock. Sam Belt was very angry and grumpy all the time. Sam answered the door. Bob said,"Why did you light my house on fire?" Sam replied, "Sorry I was jealous." "Well, you'll have to buy me a new one." responded Bob. "Fine." said Sam. Bob turned around to go home, knowing all along Sam was not going to buy him a new house. As he turned the corner onto his street, a thought occurred to Bob... "I know exactly what I am going to do to get back at Sam." A big grin spread across his face....
