Trixie story

Thu Feb 21, 2008, 2:19 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: All My Loving
  • Reading: Trixie Belden
  • Watching: Monk
  • Playing: Nancy Drew Computer Game
  • Eating: nothing! I'm starving!!!!
  • Drinking: nothing! I'm not thirsty!
Hey guys first Trixie Belden moment coming right up! I got this from the sixth Trixie Belden book, where they all go to Diana’s uncle’s ranch in Arizona. They were welcomed as guests but, Trixie volunteered them to help out when the family of servants who worked on the ranch mysteriously disappeared! Ooooooh! Anyway enjoy! FYI Diana’s nickname is Di. And Maria is just someone who works at the ranch.

Mart is the first one talking:

“For years I have been trying in vain to get her to give me the correct answer to that simplest of all weights and measures problems: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?”

;pooh,” said Di. “That’s not a problem. It’s a jawbreaker-and in case you’re interested, you said ‘How many peckled pippers’ instead of-oh, well, never mind.”

“Nobody could answer that question,” Honey put in. “There probably are no such things as pickled peppers and if there were they’d probably vary in size.”

“You use pickled peppers when you make chili sauce, don’t you, Maria?” Brian put in.

“Dried chili peppers,” she said. “But one can easily pickle peppers by putting them sliced with onions and garlic in a crock and covering all with a brine of vinegar and salt.”

“That proves my point,” Honey said quickly. “Before you could answer Mart’s problem you’d have to know how many slices make a whole pepper. And that’s impossible.”

“Besides,” Di added, “;peter Piper couldn’t have picked a peck of peckled pippers because pickled peppers don’t grow. They’re pickled after they’re picked.”

Mart was almost hysterical with laughter. “You girls grow pickled brains,” he finally got out. “The answer to my question is quite simple. In two words-one peck.”

Trixie glared at him. “Oh, for Pete’s sake!”

Mart groaned. “Are you referring to Pete Piper? If so, I’d rather not hear any more about him.” He turned to Jim. “In fact, if anyone mentions the name Pete in my presence I shall lie on the floor and scream.”

Hope you liked it!
