The Terrible Secret of the Pharaoh’s Tomb!

By Howie Monroe & Delilah Gorbish

“Awesome!” the enthusiastic and adventurous dachshund puppy exclaimed. “A time machine!”

He examined the machine closely. There was a dial with different settings in very small letters that read:

CAVEMAN TIMES

ANCIENT EGYPT

PIRATES

MEDIEVAL TIMES

THE WILD WEST

A WEEK AGO TUESDAY

“Awesome!” the bubbly and ready-for-anything Howie exclaimed. Again. “I wonder whose time machine this is.”

Just then a boy stepped out from behind a barrel. It was Tobias, Ma and Pa Monroe’s youngest son and Howie’s favorite member of the family.

(NOTE to the real Monroes: I like all of you!! This is a work of fiction!!)

“Howie,” Tobias said, “I think we’d better use this time machine to escape. I’m afraid the house is going to fall in on top of us.”
