The Mystery of the Stolen Corn Popper

by David A. Adler

  “Candy,” Eric said as he reached into the package, “gumdrops, jelly beans, lollipops, and taffy.”

  “And it’s all green,” Cam said.

  “Green is the best color for dresses, carpets, and chairs,” Betty Binky said. “And it’s the best flavor for candy.”

  Cam and Eric each bit into a gumdrop. “This is good,” Cam said.

  “Of course it’s good,” Betty Binky said, and laughed. “It’s green.”

  Cam and Eric laughed, too. Then they shared their green candy with Betty Binky and the two Binky’s Helpers.
