“Oh my goodness!!” Pearl said, hugging Strudel.

“Mom” said Strudel. “You’re cutting off my respiratory system”

“Sorry, sweetie” said Pearl. “I’m just so glad that you’re ok”

“We can use this against him in court, right?” said Strudel.

“Definitely” said Pearl.

Meanwhile, Banana && Ib were in Ib’s front yard.

“Why do you think the cops were there?” asked Banana.

“I don’t know” said Ib. “Let’s go find out”

They walked over to Strudel’s house and rang the doorbell.

“I’ll get it” said Pearl. She went downstairs and opened the door.

“Is Strudelle there?” asked Ib.

“Sorry, Ib” said Pearl. “He’s grounded”

Strudel went by the top of the stairs and listened.

“Who are you?” Pearl asked Banana.

“I’m Strawberry’s sister” said Banana.

“Well Strudel is grounded” said Pearl. “You can see him on Thursday”

“Why were the cops here?” asked Ib.

“Ib, that’s none of your business” said Pearl. “Now go home”

Strudel rushed back to his room.
