The footprints led into the cave. Police officer Cruz knew the answer to her question lay inside the cave. Who stole all the cookies from the cookie jar?

 

警官Cruz循着脚印来到了一个山洞前。Cruz知道，她要的答案就在这里了：到底是谁，偷走了罐子里所有的饼干？!

 

She had worked this case since the morning and her clues all led to this cave. She pulled out her flashlight, turned it on, and shined the light into the mouth of the cave.

 

从早上开始，Cruz就开始忙这个案子。线索把她带到这个山洞前,她拿出探照灯，打开，朝洞口照过去。

 

“Hello, cookie thief, I know you are in there. Come on out, there is nothing to worry about. You aren’t in trouble. I promise.” Police officer Cruz’s words echoed through the dark cave.

 

“嗨！饼干贼，我知道你在这里。快出来吧，不要担心，你不会有麻烦的，我保证。” 警官Cruz的声音在黑暗的洞穴里回响。

 

A few moments later, a face popped into the flashlight’s beam. It was Timmy, only 8 years old, a good kid with a bright future until this morning when he became public enemy #1. Police officer Cruz knew him as the “The Cookie Thief”.  

 

过了一会儿，一张脸从灯光里浮出来。原来是Timmy。Timmy只有8岁，是个好孩子，前途光明。但是今天早上，他成了警察的头号"公敌"，Cruz眼中的“饼干贼”。

  

“I only wanted to eat one but it was so yummy that I had to eat all the cookies from the cookie jar! I knew my parents would be mad at me so I ran away from home.” Timmy cried.

 

“我本来只想吃一块的，谁知道太好吃了，我就把罐子里的饼干全部吃啦！我知道爸爸妈妈肯定很生气，就从家里跑走了。” Timmy一边哭一边说。

 

“It’s ok, little guy. Your parents are at home worried sick about you. I guess I have to arrest you for just being too adorable.”

 

“ 没关系，小家伙。你爸爸妈妈快担心死了。我要把你带回去，因为你特别可爱。”

 

The case of “Who stole all the cookies from the cookie jar?” was solved.

 

偷饼干的案子就这么了结了。
