Mystery
Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.Mystery
"Kaitlyn!" I shrieked when I saw my best friend run through the door, "You're back!"
Kaitlyn had been vacationing at Myrtle Beach for a week and we couldn't wait to see each other. She glanced at my ears. "Where are your earrings?"
She was referring to a pair of earrings she had bought me for my birthday just before she left. They were small, shiny blue crystals dangling from a short silver chain. "I haven't put them on yet; I was planning on wearing them today." I rushed to my room to retrieve the earrings, but when I opened the door to my jewelry box, they were gone!
"I'm positive I put them there before going to bed. I know who must have done it!" I hurried into the living room, where my two brothers and sister sat, lazily watching television.
"Which one of you stole my earrings?" I demanded.
"What would I want with a pair of stinking earrings?" claimed Zack, and Jeremy quickly agreed. "It's not like we wear the things."
"I didn't steal your blue crystal earrings," said Sabrina. "Then who did?" I asked.
Kaitlyn smiled. "I think I know."
Who stole the earrings? And how did Kaitlyn know?

Who stole the earrings? And how did Kaitlyn know?
Hint
The evidence is provided in the story, if you read carefully enough.Answer
Sabrina stole the earrings. No one had said which earrings were stolen, yet Sabrina said she hadn't stolen the blue crystal earrings. She couldn't have known unless she had stolen them.Sabrina gave the earrings back, and apologized. "I just wanted to be grown up like you," she said. The next day, Kaitlyn bought a pair of earrings just for Sabrina.

ez - i thought the answer was kinda sweet
thanks.
WAS THIS WRITTEN BY A 3 YEAR OLD?
I'm pretty sure I'm not three.
I'm with Laura. That's how they all are. Make it harder next time
If you are interested in harder teasers, look at the difficulty rating and choose harder ones.
i've heard that one before, it's a classic. but i'm really bad at brain teasers, so i like the easy 1s! and it's a sweet answer
Cute mystery. I enjoyed it even though I got the answer right away. I read most of the teasers (don't care for logic-grids) and noticed the difficulty ratings are close. If people would be more accountable for THEIR choices instead of trying to shoot down creativity, maybe there will be harder teasers later. Keep 'em coming please.

Sorry about hitting the submit button twice. Still getting used to the keyboard.
whoa
Dolphingirl is right. If you don't like
easy teasers then stop looking at them and look at the harder ones. Nice teaser by the way!

cute--
omg that was the easiest riddle EVER!
Maybe cause it's not a riddle, it's a mystery
it should have been easy but i said jeremy because he acted
guilty to me. So I guess not EVERYONE got it.
guilty to me. So I guess not EVERYONE got it.
it was obvious, but good job!

a bit ez, but hey, i loved it! rock on
This teaser was fricken easy. So obvious.
super super easy better luck next time try to make it a bit harder next time but like i said super super easy
All you people who say easy, read a different teaser if you like hard ones. I didn't mean for it to be hard or anything, I have two other mysteries read those...
ill read those but it was a good teaser to warm up too keep up the good work
easy, but fun.
my younger sister and her friends like your mysteries cause they are easier for them
very easy but the answer was cute
I liked it ...easy, but how else am I ever suppose to get anything right so I can feel just as smart??? So thank you!
Fact 1. It was easy, I agree
Fact 2. There are easy ones, and hard ones, and some thing in the middle.
Fact 3. Some like it easy, some like a little harder. Nothing is written in taste matters.
Fact 4. DolphingGirl writes her teaser the way she likes them. Many other people like those teasers too.
What would I say? To DolphinGirl to keep doing her teasers, if She wants them to be easy to everyone or impossible to all, is her choice.
To Dolphingirl to play deaf at the ones you don't like.
To "the ones she doesn't like", to play mute to DolphinGirl teasers.
Easy solution!

thanks, i think.
Not everyone got this teaser right off, read the above comments. I repeat, if you don't like easy teasers, don't click on them! And half you people that decided my teaser was awful have no teasers at all, so quit slamming mine.
Thank you.

Don get angry at me, I was trying to help!
In fact, I see you have a very happy face in your profile like this:
it means your teaser rate at least a 2.5 on average. It took me some time to get that face, so I know what it means
So keep on going.

By the way:
What do you think about indicating the sister age? Like "...brothers and her little 6 years old sister...". I think it would help to understand the answer and not to think on the poor little sister as a malintended thief but as a little rascal playing a joke

That's why I added the part about her just wanting to be grown up, so it didn't seem like she was really mean or whatever.
yes it was easy but i liked it. it was almost like a story from a book i read once and you have to sovle the mysteries. (i never really got the answer to the books)

Not a whole lot of mystery there.
I thought it was fun and easy. Good Job in writing it.
Then don't read it Cyclops. Nice job Dolphingurl!
Well then good thing it was an EASY one for ya Cyclops! Rock on Dolphingurl
Dolphingurl I really enjoy your teasers.Thanks and keep them comin.
That was fun
Nice one Dgurl. Love the way you added the personal big-sister touch at the end. Keep em coming!
I liked it, it was cute, and I am really shocked at the responses some teasers get here, makes me cringe to even try and submit a slightly easy teaser....
Very nice teaser!
This was definitly easy but cute
Nice
It was easy though.

easy but fun
nice job
nice job
ez and fun
I enjoyed your teaser and your mystery writing. Please keep submitting them. As a retired teacher I see writing in your future. Making sure that all the elements are in concordance is an important part of mystery writing at any level. Now you can write mysteries that are a little longer and have a few red herrings thrown in. That'll stump 'um.
I looked at the hint, then read it over, THEN got the answer. This one was so cute! I really like the sweet stories you incorperate with your teasers!
This is well-written with an adorable ending. Fantastic job!
I think I read that in a magizine or something VERY similar.
Painfully easy, but anyone who makes the effort gets an A in my book!
(Some of the criticism comes from those who haven't even written a teaser, for heaven's sake!)

dolphin gurl is rite give her a break
Great teaser Dolphingurl, sure it wasn't the hardest teaser in the world, but honestly, who really wants it to be? It was a well written little story with a very sweet little touch at the end of the answer.
SO BE HAPPY PEOPLE!!! ...Or just write your own teasers...

I TOTALLY agree with madelulabelle, If you don't like it make your own teaser and make it impossible so everyone hates it because it is hard. If you're gonna be mean and insult it 'cause it was too easy then DON'T READ THE EASY ONES!!
BTW loved the teaser good job
Nice. Read one like this before in a Clue JR. Book. nice teaser!
I loved the teaser dolphin! To those who you harassing her and telling her how easy and all it is....get over it, please. These are her creations, she worked hard and if you want a challenge..please look at the difficulty ratings. Or write your own harder teasers.
Make some more teasers dolphin! Please?!?!?
Make some more teasers dolphin! Please?!?!?
