Who Stole the Corn?

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Someone on this farm is responsible for the theft and brutal mutilation of this corn:

Suspect Number 1 – Colonel Cluck and his Harem of Hens

The Colonels residence is adjacent to the corn so this makes him a suspect. However he has an unfortunate twitch which would prevent him carrying out the task alone. We suspect his harem may also have been involved.

Are The Colonel and his harem of hens really smart enough to carry out a heist of this kind?

Suspect Number 2 – Levi The Arrogant Racehorse

Levi’s paddock is also adjacent to the corn – and he is arrogant enough to carry out a crime such as this.

On closer inspection however – there were no horse prints in the dirt – and the fence was untouched.

We suspect Levi was probably too busy plotting ways to terrorise Farmer Mike.

Suspect Number 3 – The Three Ducks

The ducks have a history of bad behavior which is why they have been placed on the suspect list.

They are always playing in the hen house despite being told repeated not to do this.

They swim in the hens water when they have their own private stream down the bottom of the farm.

They are hungry ALL the time which gives them a motive.

But are these mischevious little ducks really capable of such a brutal crime?

Suspect Number 4 – The Buff Orpingtons – Buffy,Fluffy, and Puffy

We figure the Buffs were probably too busy with their open home that day to bother stealing corn. “Buffy the Corn Slayer?” – I don’t think so.

Suspect Number 5 – Bessie the Dog

Bessie likes to slink around the farm in her black frock and britches.

She is constantly picked on by the other animals – the cats tease her, the cows chase her, the ducks nip her tail and the fences give her shocks.

Bessie was also caught hiding in Grandpa’s car trying to escape the crime scene.

We suspect this may be an act of revenge.

Suspect number 6 – The Australian

The prime suspect for this brutal massacre is The Australian. We haven’t seen him but we know he is out there. We have set the trap and when he is caught he will be interrogated and shot!
