Children’s Book
RA and the CLUE
RA IS A VERY GOOD AND VERY SMART CAT
HE KNOWS HIS ABC’S AND ALL HIS NUMBERS AND CAN
TELL TIME TOO.
RA LOOKED DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE HE KNEW!
HE WAS BLUE with RED SPOTS ON ONE SIDE, AND RED
AND BLUE SPOTS ON THE OTHER!!!!
RA THOUGHT THIS WAS A FINE THING, TO BE SO
DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE.
RA WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THE SUN PEEK THROUGH HIS
WINDOW THIS MORNING.
HE PUT ON HIS BEST RED SHOES AND WALKED TO
SCHOOL .
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT RA WILL RECITE HIS ABC’S
FOR MISS GOODY.
MISS GOODY ASKED RA TO COME TO THE FRONT OF
THE CLASS. HE HAD TO WALK SIDEWAYS TO FIT
BETWEEN THE ROWS OF DESKS. RA HEARD THE OTHER
CHILDREN LAUGHING AT HIM.
HE HEARD TOMMY SAY “THAT CAT RA DOESN’T HAVE
A CLUE!” EVERYONE ROARED WITH LAUGHTER AND
RA WAS VERY EMBARASSED.

2.
HE DID SAY HIS ABC’S TO PERFECTION, BUT ALL HE
COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE “CLUE”
FOR DAYS AND DAYS RA SEARCHED FOR A CLUE. IF HE
ONLY HAD A CLUE, EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK. BUT
RA HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS THING THAT HE DIDN’T
HAVE.
HE ASKED THE BUTCHER, HE ASKED THE BAKER, HE
ASKED THE COBBLER. NOBODY HAD A CLUE. AND
NOBODY KNEW WHERE TO FIND ONE.
RA WENT TO THE PARK TO SEARCH FOR A CLUE. HE SAT
DOWN NEXT TO A VERY OLD MAN WITH A VERY ODD
HAT. THE OLD MAN ASKED WHY RA WAS SO SAD.
“I HAVEN’T A CLUE” SAID RA.
THE OLD MAN SAID …AH…YES…I KNOW THIS TO BE
TRUE. NO ONE HAS A CLUE ANYMORE.
BUT WHY???? ASKED RA
WHEN THE CLUES COULDN’T FIND THEIR SHOES,
NOAH’S ARK LEFT WITHOUT THEM!
RA, I WILL TELL YOU SOMETHING NO ONE KNEW
ABOUT THE CLUE.
THEY HAD A WING IN THEIR TAIL SO, WHEN THEY
MISSED THE BOAT, THEY FLEW!
BUT EVERYONE WAS SURE THAT THERE WOULD BE
CLUES NO MORE.

3.
EVERYONE STOPPED LOOKING FOR THEM. AND
EVERYONE STOPPED ASKING FOR THEM.
EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY DIDN’T NEED A CLUE
ANYMORE.
OH MY, I HAVE BEEN LOOKIING FOR A CLUE FOR DAYS
AND DAYS. …SAID RA. I’VE BEEN ASKING FOR A CLUE,
AND I REALLY REALLY WANT ONE.
IF THAT IS THE CASE RA, THEN YOU ALREADY HAVE A
CLUE!. A CLUE LIVES IN THE HEART OF ALL THOSE
WHO ASK QUESTIONS AND SEEK THE TRUTH.
A BIG SMILE CAME OVER RA’S FACE AS HE JUMPED UP
FROM HIS SEAT!!!!
“I HAVE A CLUE, I HAVE A CLUE” SAID RA!
THE NEXT DAY, RA SQUEEZED BETWEEN THE ROWS OF
DESKS, WITH THE TAIL OF HIS SHIRT STICKING OUT
ONCE AGAAIN.
HE COULD HEAR THE SNICKERS AND THE LAUGHTER,
BUT TODAY IT DIDN’T BOTHER HIM.
HE PUT A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE AND SAID…
“I DO HAVE A CLUE
AND I’LL BE HAPPY TO SHARE IT WITH YOU!”
