Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose signed up for Mummy Monday in the museum. Dr. Tweed told them how these people died, and how they became mummies. The children saw three stone coffins. One of the coffins was lying on a stone table. The other two were leaning upright against the walls to either side.
A woman darted forward. She snatched the child mummy and raced out of the tomb. So, Mummy Monday had to be postponed. Ruth Rose saw the missing mummy in the ladies’ room.
The child mummy seemed to be undamaged. However, the children thought the thief got changed in the rest room, and then she went toward the tomb for stealing something else. But they didn’t see the thief in the tomb. The wall slid shut, and the children were locked in.
The children waited in the closet and drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, a huge blast shook the room. Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose bolted up out of a sound sleep. The children saw two intruders breaking the cases and stealing the mummies’ gold.
The intruders were all in black clothes, but one had white stripe on his clothes. Josh smelled something to eat, but he didn’t remember what it was.
The children went back to the museum for Tyrannosaurus Tuesday. They wondered where the thieves hid the mummies’ gold. At the end of the Tyrannosaurus Tuesday, Josh remembered what he smelled, French fries.
The children went to AUNT FREDA’S FABULOUS FRIES to figure out what happened to the gold. They saw a clerk with short dark hair just looked like the woman who came out of the rest room before Ruth Rose found the mummy.
Josh found that a pebble on the floor in Aunt Freda’s kitchen matched the pebbles in the tomb. It meant something in that restaurant smelled.
The children figured out that one of the crooks was Dr. Tweed.
Officer Peters snapped handcuffs onto Dr. Tweed’s dripping wrists.
