6. The Great Hamster Hunt

   On Monday morning, Room 12 had a problem. The door of the hamster cage was open, and Pickles was gone.

   "Nobody panic," said Ms. Park. Then she looked under her own desk, just in case.

   The class split into teams. Team One checked the reading corner. They found three pencils, a lost library book, and a sock nobody would claim. Team Two checked the coat hooks. They found a mitten with a hole in the thumb, but no hamster.

   Diego, who wanted to be a detective when he grew up, lay flat on the floor. "Hamsters leave clues," he said. "Look for crumbs."

   Sure enough, there was a tiny trail of cracker crumbs. It led past the sink, around the globe, and straight to Ms. Park's lunch bag.

   Everyone tiptoed closer. The bag was moving. It wiggled to the left. It wiggled to the right. Then it made a crunching sound.

   Ms. Park opened the bag very slowly. There sat Pickles, right on top of her lunch. His cheeks were stuffed so full of crackers that his head looked twice its normal size. He blinked at them as if to say, "What? I was hungry."

   The whole class burst out laughing. Even Ms. Park laughed, though she had to say goodbye to her crackers.

   Diego carefully lifted Pickles back into his cage. Then he checked the door. The latch was loose, so the door opened whenever Pickles pushed on it. Ms. Park fixed it with a twist tie from the art closet.

   "Good detective work, Diego," she said.

   That afternoon, the class wrote a new rule on the board in big letters: CHECK THE LATCH. Under it, someone drew a hamster with puffy cheeks.

   Pickles did not seem to mind. He was fast asleep in his bedding, still full of crackers.
