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?

coastcomfort Jan 24, 2005	Scooby Doo would have just followed the footprints
tsd3 Jan 28, 2005	that was easy but fun!
Get-o-sprstr Jan 28, 2005	a teaser is a teaser but to be honest this one was way too easy. .
nennifer Feb 01, 2005	Not enough information, hon. How were we supposed to know Fred was crying, or that he got a sandwich? Otherwise nice.
Weezy105 Feb 01, 2005	I thought he was playing in the ventelation system.
roseblood003 Feb 02, 2005	Sorry everyone that doesn't like my teaser! Can't please everyone!
smgreyuk Feb 06, 2005	Yes roseblood its hard to please evry1, but hey I liked it. Keep them comin!
nerd3773 Feb 08, 2005	u just needed sum more information like a sandwich wuz missin frum the fridge or sumthin lol
ZOE5639 Feb 22, 2005	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
nychik008 Feb 26, 2005	a little bit of a complicated answer don't ya think?
CowGirl90 Mar 04, 2005	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'?
serendity78 Apr 02, 2005	didn't really care 4 it but it was aight
whaleycm Apr 06, 2005	Not one of your best....but I couldnt do any better
(user deleted) Apr 10, 2005	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.
(user deleted) May 04, 2005	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?
jannie_delta May 19, 2005	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.
hpfan May 25, 2005	is this really a teaser?
Cat4romMars Jun 07, 2005	Fun one
trumpetsgirl Oct 12, 2005	I could not figure out that he was helping his dad, i figured he was just playing up there
abw7292 Nov 13, 2005	and by the way... learn how to spell. ... SANDWHICH... psh...
kibblesnbits Feb 17, 2006	do 3 year olds usually make their own sandwiches?
kcheer2493 May 30, 2006	I didn't get it right b/c i thought my answer was too easy, guess i was wrong. nice try
arabillie Jun 02, 2007	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?
scallio Sep 11, 2007	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.
chiliwormeater4 Sep 29, 2007	Good job on the teaser, i really liked it
