It was a hot summer day. Ellie, Josie, and Sammie were all drenched in sweat, working hard in their yard, while Cadie was just sitting inside the nice cool house drinking lemonade. Before Josie had gone outside she set her shiny Apple Cell Phone on the kitchen counter because she didn’t want it to get dirty.
Ellie, Josie, and Sammie were all rather mad at Cadie for not helping with the yard work. But at the same time Cadie was mad at the other girls because she had told them that she had a headache, and they were still mad at her for not coming out. Cadie was watching TV inside when she suddenly got the urge to go to the bathroom. She walked past the kitchen where Josie’s Apple Cell Phone was, to the bathroom.
While she was in the bathroom Sammie came inside to get some water. While she was inside she noticed a perfectly good apple on the counter, so she decided to eat it, noticing that it was particularly shiny. She also got a drink and went back outside. After about ten minutes Ellie came inside to get a bit of food. She took a few bites of food and proceeded to go back outside.
Fifteen minutes later Cadie returned from the bathroom. She noticed that there was an unfamiliar phone on the counter, but she didn’t worry about it because she figured it was just Ellie or Sammie’s phone. Cadie decided to take a nap. Josie came inside. Cadie woke up from her nap with a start. “Ahhhhhh!” shouted Josie. Everyone came inside, thinking that someone had died or something. Running inside like a stampede of elephants, they came to a halt right in front of Josie. “My Apple Cell Phone is gone!”. They all looked at her, relieved that no one had died or gotten injured.
“Could you have set it somewhere in the house?” asked Ellie, in a calm, assertive voice.
“ I set it right here on the counter!” Josie cried. She looked frantically all around the counter, on the floor, and even in the stinky trash.
“Wait, isn’t Josie too young to have a phone, at five years old?” queried Sammie.
“Grandma Cadie, Josie told us that she is missing her Apple Cell Phone. Do you know if she has a cell phone?” asked Ellie. Cadie ambled to her feet, and slowly walked over to the group of perplexed girls.
“Oh my darlings! Would she tell you so if she didn’t have one?!? Of course she does. It is her toy, she plays with it all the time. Haven’t you guys seen her playing with it before, being cousins and all?” The girls shrugged.
Then Sammie said “I don’t think I have ever seen her playing with a cell phone before, all i’ve seen is her playing with an apple.. That I just assumed she would eat.”
“Don’t you get it dearies? The apple you are talking about is her Apple cell phone, because her parents don’t have enough money to buy her a good toy, she usually plays with food, and pretends its something she has always wanted. Don’t you understand? This time she was actually being really creative making an apple, an Apple Cell Phone.” Exclaimed Cadie.
“Oh man…. Was that apple on the kitchen counter? Was it a shiny, green, apple? I think I might feel sick. Grandma I think I might have eaten her apple!” cried Sammie.
Cadie let out a gasp “Yes it was on the kitchen counter. Did you eat Josie’s apple cell phone?
“Oh Josie, I’m so sorry. I will give you one of my stuffed animal dogs, in fact you can even have three of them. I have about a billion, and I barely use them anymore.” said Sammie. “Wait one second! Who’s phone was on the counter. I didn’t recognize it.”
Cadie exclaimed “WHERE’S MY PHONE?!?!?!?”
