In the early morning I woke up and went to town hall to see if the shell was there. It was not. They did exactly as I suspected. Since the shell was missing I informed the mayor. He, for once, agreed that I was right and we needed to find it and burn it. We got a group of people together and went out searching. We looked outside on the ground, in the hills, in the prairies, and in front yard. Everywhere except people houses. Since we never searched houses I just thought that maybe my wife had it somewhere, she hid it from me.

I was on my way home, and in my head, debating how to ask her. I finally thought of a way right when I got to the door. I burst into the room yelling, "Where did you put the shell!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I don't have it!" She responded in a very unbelievable tone.

I looked in the room and found it right under her pillow. I knew she was lying. Since I had it, I had to go back to town hall and tell the mayor.

I got there as fast as I could so no one would see it. As soon as I was in his office I was panting. He saw the shell and jumped for joy. "You found it great job sir," he congratulated me.
