         Jake sauntered into the kitchen. He'd heard banging, clattering, and now whispering. Something seemed to be happening almost under his nose. He felt sure it was clandestine and in his house he conducted all the investigations.

         In order not to raise any suspicion re his sudden appearance, Jake took his time circling the room. He lingered here and there.

         Finally, his curiosity got the better of him. He marched right up to the stove and inhaled deeply. Aha! He knew it! Cookies were in the oven. He couldn't help but slobber as he groaned.

         A hand approached with an inquiry.

          "Oh, hi Jake. Who's a good boy? Did you smell the cookies? Nothing gets past you, eh boy?"
