Funny little story, mystery writer! I laughed out loud. You met the requirements well. Good luck in the contest!
It really is hard to write a story and not use that letter S, isn't it?

What a clever story - the kid had his arrogance sized up well in guessing exactly what he would be thinking! And not one S in your tale - good entry :-) Brooke

This is short and sweet. It has all of the elements of a good tiny story. All of the rules of the contest were met.
I enjoyed reading it. Good luck!

I liked the idea of your writing but after reading it several times I realised I was confused as to who made the bet, who took out the pen and paper and got fooled. It seems to me that the man placed the bet and was supposed to dupe the child but the man ended up being fooled. Did you mean for this to happen or did I read it wrong, each time. I'd love to know. Thanks, Chris

    Can you help me understand as I want to?

    You got the gist of it Chris from the start this is exactly whar I had in mind; man tries to trick the kid, kid out smarts him. I had only 50 words to work with and no letter s .... I think it turned out ok. But of course, I am subjective

This was very cute. You wrote a humorous story in under 50 words with no "s" I can see. You need a space between
"Prove it, "the. The quotes are too close to the word "the."
Best of luck in the contest. Yours is the second story that didn't have a photo. Well done.

    thanks Pat, stick around, pull a chair LOL Adina

    WELL... I mean I didn't bother to read it aloud, cos it wasn't poetry. There was no scenery, so I couldn't say whether it was clear or not. There was certainly no room whatsoever for emotions, so I couldn't discuss them, either! What's a woman to do?
    LOL! Patxxx

Keeps to the rules of the contest. Can't see any revisions needed, I like the savvy street-wise kid his character is expressed well in these few lines of prose. The whole story feels a bit like a well told joke and I like that a lot.
