Hey Where is Mr Rose Kayley asked Mr Rose was not in the room Mr Rose is ALWAYS here in the morning Molly said He stands in the doorway and drinks coffee He waves and says hello And he drinks more coffee He asks how we are Then he drinks more coffee Yeah Kayley said Where do you think he is Maybe he had a coffee emergency Molly said Maybe he locks his extra coffee in the school safe with the erasers and markers He’s probably at the safe getting more coffee There he is Kayley cried Mr Rose walked through the door A new
girl slipped in behind him She was holding a Silly Squirrel lunch box Class I’d like you to meet our new student Tori Mr Rose said Please make her feel welcome Tori waved nervously at the class
Hey Kayley cried I have the same lunch box as the new kid Hmmm Molly said A new kid comes on the same day I bring my mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies Doesn’t that seem strange She could be a secret snack bandit Don’t be silly Molly said Kayley Molly pointed at Tori’s shirt Look at her shirt It has the letters S B on it They must stand for Snack Bandit A snack bandit would not have that printed on her shirt said Kayley That would give her away Mr Rose lead Tori to the empty desk in front of Kayley
