Melinda sat glued to her favourite mystery book. She dreamed of being a detective and couldn't wait to solve a mystery! But she didn't have one then.
As she finished the last page, she heard something from the kitchen. “Hey! Who ate all the chocolate?!” Mom shouted.
Melinda ran into the kitchen. She found the chocolate box empty. “It's a mystery!” she cried. “I must find out who ate all the chocolate.” Mom looked at Melinda. “I don't think so.”
“Sure, it is! And I'm on the case!” Melinda got right to work looking for clues but couldn't find any. Then she wrote a suspect list with the names of everyone in the house.
Mom was the first suspect. “Mom, you were at the scene of the crime,” said Melinda. “It wasn't me!” laughed Mom. “Exactly what a guilty person would say,” Melinda replied.
“I wish I ate it,” said Mom, “but it was gone when I got home.” Oh right, thought Melinda, Mom was at work so it wasn't her.
Next was Milo. “Where were you between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.?” asked Melinda. “What are you talking about?” Milo asked, confused. “The chocolate, Milo! It didn't eat itself,” Melinda shouted.
“▲,” Milo replied. Typical Milo, thought Melinda, always blaming(责备)someone else.
The mystery wasn't solved yet. “Dad is the main suspect!” she thought. Melinda ran to the living room to find Dad. “You didn't eat much at dinner tonight,” said Melinda. “You must have been pretty hungry afterward. Maybe you were wanting some chocolate!” Melinda yelled.
“I had strawberry ice cream, remember?” She ran to the kitchen and looked in the fridge — half a box of strawberry ice cream.
Dad's story checked out. “OK, you're clear,” she said, not happy.
“Oh, there might be someone you missed,” Dad laughed. “How could that be?” she thought. She had questioned everyone! The case was still not solved, and it was time for bed.
In the bathroom, Melinda froze when she saw her face in the mirror(镜子).
A quick lick(舔)showed the truth: CHOCOLATE! Melinda ran back downstairs. “I did it!” she shouted.
“You sure did!” Mom laughed. “That's right,” said Melinda. “Mystery solved!”

梅琳达全神贯注地看着她最喜欢的侦探小说。她梦想成为一名侦探，迫不及待地想要解开一个谜团！但那时她还没有遇到这样的机会。
当她读完最后一页时，她听到厨房里有动静。“嘿！谁把所有的巧克力都吃光了？！”妈妈喊道。
梅琳达跑进厨房。她发现巧克力盒子空了。“这是个谜！”她叫道，“我必须找出是谁吃光了所有的巧克力。”妈妈看着梅琳达说：“我不这么认为。”
“当然是个谜！而且我要着手调查这个案子！”梅琳达立刻开始寻找线索，但什么也没找到。然后她列出了一份嫌疑人名单，上面写着房子里每个人的名字。
妈妈是第一个嫌疑人。“妈妈，你在犯罪现场。”梅琳达说。“不是我！”妈妈笑着说。“这正是一个有罪的人会说的话。”梅琳达回答道。
“我希望是我吃的，”妈妈说，“但我回家的时候它就已经没了。”哦，对了，梅琳达想，妈妈在工作，所以不是她。
接下来是米洛。“晚上7点到7点半之间你在哪里？”梅琳达问道。“你在说什么？”米洛困惑地问。“巧克力，米洛！它不会自己消失的。”梅琳达喊道。
“▲。”米洛回答道。典型的米洛，梅琳达想，总是责怪别人。
谜团还没有解开。“爸爸是主要嫌疑人！”她想。梅琳达跑到客厅去找爸爸。“你今晚晚餐没吃多少。”梅琳达说，“之后你一定很饿。也许你想吃点巧克力！”梅琳达喊道。
“我吃了草莓冰淇淋，记得吗？”她跑到厨房，看了看冰箱——半盒草莓冰淇淋。
爸爸的说法得到了证实。“好吧，你没事了。”她说，有点不高兴。
“哦，可能有一个人你漏掉了。”爸爸笑着说。“怎么会呢？”她想。她已经询问过每个人了！案子还没有解决，该睡觉了。
在浴室里，梅琳达看到镜子里自己的脸时愣住了。
快速地舔了一下就揭示了真相：是巧克力的味道！梅琳达跑下楼。“是我干的！”她喊道。
“你当然是！”妈妈笑着说。“没错，”梅琳达说，“谜团解开了！”
