The floor was clean a moment ago. Now there is a crumb, and another, and another: a trail. Detective [NAME] creeps along the crumb clue, past the clock, up onto a chair by mistake, and on to the closet in the hall. Inside sits Baby with the cracker box, crunching. [NAME] claps, Baby claps, and they share the last crisp cracker.

Below the tall cliff, [NAME] climbs the rocks to a rock pool. A crab creeps out, then another, then a whole crew, and one bold crab snips the shiny clip out of [NAME]'s hair and creeps off with it.

[NAME] finds a clown wig in Gran's closet, adds a red nose and a paper crown, and puts on a show for Gran and a crew of toys. The big trick goes wrong: a crash, a cracked crown, a wobbly lip. But Gran claps loudest of all, because falling over and getting up again is what clowns do best.

At school, [NAME] makes a crab out of red clay and gives it a crown. It dries on the sunny windowsill and cracks: a leg drops off, and [NAME] nearly cries. The teacher brings wet clay, a clip holds the leg while it sets, the class claps, and the crab goes home in [NAME]'s bag with its crown on.

[NAME] wears a paper crown to the park, where a crew and a tall crane are lifting crates next door. A crisp gust takes the crown up, up, up and lands it on the crane's hook, high in the clouds. [NAME] nearly cries, but the crew sees, the crane creeps down, and the crown comes back a little bent. [NAME] claps for the crew and the crew claps for [NAME].
