The Case of the Missing Banana

Mom had a banana in her school bag. She put her bag down on the steps and went on her usual routine of house cleaning, cooking, feeding us, and picking up the tootsie rolls out back. Basil was awfully quiet and when mom returned she couldn't find the banana that was in her bag and there were two frenchies suspiciously licking the rug. Basil took it OUT of mom's bag and ate the whole thing - banana peel, stem and all.
