Violet read the breakfast menu printed below the weather forecast. “‘Contest Special—Native-Stone Buckets and Star Ruby Muffins.’” “We’re having dirt for breakfast?” Benny said. He liked playing in the dirt, but he didn’t want to eat any! “Today is the last day of the contest,” said Grandfather. “Everybody will need a hearty meal before going to work.” The Aldens sat down at their table, greeting Sybil, Jonathan, and Donald. Henry noticed that Donald and Sybil looked tired, as if neither had slept very well. Maybe, he thought, one of them was up late, digging around the flume. The waitress brought glasses of ruby-red grapefruit juice. “How would you like your Miner’s eggs?” she asked, pen poised over her pad. Jonathan grinned. “How about Hard as a Rock?” Violet giggled. Jonathan was always telling jokes! How could he be the thief? After eating eggs, Star Ruby cranberry muffins, and cups of Native-Stone Bucket granola, the Aldens walked down to the flume.
