The Cookie Trap
I scrambled beneath the wooden kitchen chairs and spotted the ultimate treasure: an unopened plastic packet of tiny chocolate cookies leaning against the pantry baseboard! I dragged a discarded wooden toothpick over to use as a crowbar, wedging it right under the plastic seam. Straining with all my weight, I hopped on the far end of the toothpick like a lever, trying to pop the seam open. The wood bent, sprang back, and catapulted me straight onto the shiny foil wrapper with a loud crinkle! I haven't cracked the seal yet, but this prank on my own appetite isn't over.
