Samuel Stinky Shoes
Attila's Attic, Room 3

Have you ever heard that crackling giggle under the bed at night? Don't you wonder what it is well, the Daring Detectives, dare to look under the bed? We, the Daring Detectives, detect that this monster is approx. three feet tall wearing what looks like a potato sack. His mission is to eat name brand shoes.


Only two other detectives have dared to trap this ferocious beast, and they had their shoes taken right off their feet. All people ever see of this monster is a green hand snatch innocent shoes and bursts of smelly green smoke.

We predict that this elf is bald with a little green hat. His body is shiny and green and poisoned with stench. He is thought to always wear a brown jumper and shoes laces tied to his pointy ears. We have named this elf Samuel Stinky Shoes because of his unusual ability to release stench from his mouth. Also when he eats shoes, he chooses them carefully. If you don't have name brand shoes then he will start eating your feet.

People think that they are really losing their shoes but we really know who is behind it. All that is left of the shoe is the shoelaces with S.S.S. indented in green. The Daring Detectives have been working on this case for months and we have met two children who have experienced losing their shoes. One of them, Susie, told us that her room smelled for weeks after the "encounter" even though she disposed of the shoelaces. The other person we met, Deborah, offered to let us hide behind a dresser and watch for Samuel Stinky Shoes. Though we picked a pair of shoes next to the bed, we saw nothing happen. We felt a blast of smoke. We crept up to the bed and just as we were going to look under we felt a blast of smoke. We looked down and realized our shoes were gone. Just as we expected, the shoelaces were on the ground. We collected them to bring to our lab.

We, the Daring Detectives have experienced the trauma of being shoeless. Now we know what people feel like to have their shoes taken off their feet. Good Luck to all detectives who try to further uncover the mystery of Samuel Stinky Shoes.
