Adventures of Blue Boy: The Unlucky Thief


A burglar was trying to break into Blue Boy's home one night and steal things, but he had no clue that would get, well, complicated.

First, in the dark hallway he stumbled into Samy the turtle sound sleep with his head and little chobby legs tucked inside his thick brown shell. The thief mistook it for a valuable item and picked it up to put it in his bag when Samy woke up and stared at the thief, who paused and then to look better moved his face closer to Samy to figure out where those eyes came from and, bang, Samy's head jumped out and grabbed the thief's nose with his powerful jaws.

"Let go. Let go of me," the thief screamed and yet Samy held onto it tight. The thief then ran toward the door and was confronted by the three Matian balls guarding the front entrance like foot soldiers. "What in the world!" So he ran back to the kitchen, hoping there is a back entrance he could use and then saw the Mousy busy feasting on a left-over cake, which he pushed off the table as soon as he saw the thief, who slipped and his head hit the referigerator. "I give up. Help me please."

"Samy let go. Let go," Blue Boy pleaded with Samy a few minutes later and finally Samy did. "I just had a weird dream Blue Boy," Samy said.

"Really? What was it?"
"Well. I just dreamt I was a rabbit and eating a big brown carrot. Imagine brown carrot, haha."

Blue Boy decided not to spoil Samy's laughter by straightening him with the fact that brown carrot was none other than a thief's nose.

"Who's that Blue Boy?" Samy asked when the cops arrived and escorted the thief out.

"Oh, just a thief."
"A thief?!"
"Yeah."
"Wow. How did you catch him Blue Boy? I'm proud of you."
"Don't menion it Samy."

Samy didn't quite understand why Blue Boy was laughing, until Mousy spilled the beans.

"You caught him dummy, with your bite on his nose."
"I did?! Hum. So the carrot was?"
"That's right Samy."
"Well, in that case I'm glad I didn't eat it. That would have given me a bad digestion."

"You're a hero Samy. Just wait until the papers get hold of it. The turtle who caught a thief."
