Mystery
Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.Mystery
Mark came home from school to find his 3-year old little brother Fred missing. He called his friends Abby and Carl to help him look. He told them his parents left a little while ago and his dad had just fixed the vent system in the attic. Upon entering the living room, Abby immediately noticed dirty footprints of a barefoot child. She pointed them out to Mark. He looked at them and suddenly heard a crash above him. Carl ran out of the room. Where is Fred and where is Carl going?
Answer
Fred got his feet dirty in the attic when his dad was working in there, but came downstairs to get a sandwich. He then went back into the attic and hid, playing hide-and-seek with his dad when he wasn't paying attention. Then he was locked in. The crash was him banging against the door. Carl heard him crying.Hide Answer Show Answer

Uh.....I dont really get it..but w/e.
Scooby Doo would have just followed the footprints
that was easy but fun!
a teaser is a teaser but to be honest this one was way too easy. .
Not enough information, hon. How were we supposed to know Fred was crying, or that he got a sandwich? Otherwise nice.
I thought he was playing in the ventelation system.
Sorry everyone that doesn't like my teaser! Can't please everyone!
Yes roseblood its hard to please evry1, but hey I liked it. Keep them comin!
u just needed sum more information like a sandwich wuz missin frum the fridge or sumthin lol
Not a good punch, I was enjoying the mystery, then I thought the obvious answer, and checked and yes the answer should be short and sweet, all this other sandwich,and crying nonsense. It's a good try, I will say that, and an intersting theory, keep trying, How old are you too? Some of us should keep this in mind before slammin you with negitivty
a little bit of a complicated answer don't ya think?
That was very, uh, interesting. I don't think that there was quite enough info to figure out the complete answer... 'to get a sandwich'?
didn't really care 4 it but it was aight
Not one of your best....but I couldnt do any better

Not that good. There were no clues that carl heard any crying. And Fred having a sandwich wasnt very helpful and he couldve got a drink or something.

umm....you'd think the answer would be he was looking for somewhere to hide and went back in the attic and hid in the vent,I didn't like it.
a sandwhich?
a sandwhich?
No need to be mean about it!!!
If you didn't get it though...
Sorry. It might not be the best teaser on the site, but it got approved so it is at least ok,
If you didn't get it, then it must have been hard for you, b/c there WAS enough information.

is this really a teaser?
Fun one
I could not figure out that he was helping his dad, i figured he was just playing up there
and by the way... learn how to spell. ... SANDWHICH... psh...
do 3 year olds usually make their own sandwiches?
I didn't get it right b/c i thought my answer was too easy, guess i was wrong. nice try
The part that struck me as off was that he got home from school and the brother was missing, yet the parents were not home? Who leaves a 3-year-old home alone?
I too wondered why the child wasn't found to be with the parents since he shouldn't have been left alone.
After that, following the footprints was the obvious answer to where the child was and no neighborhood friends would have been required to come to that conclusion.
This wasn't one of my favorites because it was too vague. Please add more details and clues that will lead to the conclusion you offered.
Thanks for the effort.

Wow, lame dad, lol.
The crash could easily be something falling. And how are we supposed to know that the house only has one story?
