Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple

Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple

On Tuesday we went to the 3g4g Buddhist Temple. There were two groups one group went in the morning another group went in the afternoon. The first group left at 9:00am to go to the Buddhist temple and they had lots of fun over there. There were four classes in each group in the first group it was Mrs Shehata, Mr Tisch, Mrs Birch, and Mrs Topaz. When we got there we had to split up into two groups group 1 and group 2 they went separate ways. I was the leader of group 1 I had to hold up a sign saying number 1 and 3g4g. When we went around we could see all the different things we do in 3g4g it was quite fascinating. When we went upstairs we followed the leader to the go in the very small library. when we were done we had some morning tea what we had was two biskets and a drink of water we had to stay around one area so we just sat down right were we were so it was fun cause we had a little run around. Then after that we went on the bus to go back to school because the second group was getting ready to go to the Buddhist temple. We also bathed the Buddha while we were there.

The Crime

At approximately 7:15 a.m., Friday morning, Mrs. King, the science teacher, thought something was fishy as she walked down the hall and noticed that her door was open. She walked into her classroom and immediately discovered that the small aquarium had been broken and her prized gold fish were gasping in the sink. Beside the broken aquarium were the shattered remains of the pink piggy bank that had been on the shelf above the aquarium. A can of blue paint was spilled on the floor. Footprints of a barefooted burglar led to an open window. Bits of a white powdery substance were found next to the broken, empty, piggy bank. The only other item found was a half-eaten large chunk of chocolate candy.

When the police arrived they immediately began to gather forensic evidence.

Dan the Man Height : 176 cm Alias: The General Dan was wearing a woollen general's uniform with small holes when apprehended in the woods. He claimed to be gnawing on wood for moisture and insects to practice his survival training. His teeth look like a beavers from gnawing. His wife complains that she never has any baking soda due to Dan's compulsion about storing clothes in mothballs. He thinks the baking soda takes away the mothball smell, so he stuffs his pockets with the substance. Also, his wife reports that her giant chocolate kisses continually disappear from the candy cupboard. He blames their dog Patton, an English bull terrier, who patrols the neighbourhood. His neighbours report that Dan loves the military. He was very regimented about playing taps on his bugle every day at sunset until an irate neighbour broke his bugle. Dan has been trying to save money for a new one. Peg the Leg Height: 152 cm Alias: Lucky Lady

Peg is a librarian known for hanging horseshoes and four leaf clovers in her library. Employees say she is so superstitious she insisted on carpeting in the library instead of laying tiles so she would not step on the cracks. She wraps construction zone tape around open ladders so no one can walk under them. Cola bottles litter her office, which she drinks with chocolate chunks. Her teeth are chipped from knocking the bottles against them. She is always throwing salt over her shoulder for good luck and keeps a salt shaker in her purse. Her alibi is that she was busy closing open umbrellas the morning of the crime.

Jake the Jock

                                                                         Height 201 cm

                                                     Alias: Armchair Quarterback

                                                                                         

Jake the Jock is known for quoting statistics on every sport from boomerang throwing to sled dogging. His neighbours report that he is the neighbourhood pitcher for baseball games. Last year a baseball hit him in the mouth and knocked out his front tooth. This has cramped his eating style of chocolate chunks, candied apples, and corn on the cob. His wife claims that on the morning of the crime Jake was rubbing his hands with cornstarch to keep them dry in preparation for an important baseball game.

Lou Lou Height: 160 cm Alias: Sweet Tooth

Lou Lou is so addicted to sugar that she never leaves home without it. She loves to bake sweet things and has an entire pantry full of sugar bins. She claims to have been baking her famous chocolate chunk cookies the morning of the crime (although not a morsel of cookie or chocolate chunk was left when the police arrived.) Lou Lou rarely wears shoes, which often causes her to slip and break things, especially her collection of ceramic pigs. Evidence:

• Fingerprints: Sticky, 'swirl' fingerprints were lifted from the aquarium and piggy bank. 
• Footprints: The painted footprints were measured and were for 26 cm feet. 
• Teeth: The chunk of chocolate candy was collected for examination. It appeared there were teeth imprints.
• White Powder: The white powdery substance by the piggy bank was carefully placed in a plastic bag and taken to the forensic chemist for identification . It had very small grains and when mixed with Iodine it reacted making the colour brown. It did not have a smell.
