Our spy has a name that doesn't look like a name. You wouldn't know it was a name. It looks like this: CWQhrtY. People call him Mr. C.
Our spy is 6 years old. He lives in Brooklyn. He has a cat.
Our mission takes us to Chincouteuge. This place is an island, with swamps and wetlands. There are reports of a dangerous unknown fish there.
Our mission is to look at the fish.
From his secret headquarters, he gets a boat-but it is not a regular boat! It is a motor boat that can turn into his submarine. This boat has a magnifying glass you can put up to the window to see the fish better. The boat also has a good computer that can translate when fish talk. That way we can ask the fish to tell us their name.
When Mr. C arrives at the island he'll find a person and he is going to have to pretend he is not a spy. He will do this by wearing a disguise. This is the disguise of a regular sailor, it is a water proof suit that is green and black.
The man on the island sees Mr. C and says to him, "Hi sailor would you like to stay at my house?"
Mr. C says "yes"
He thinks that this man feeds the fish to make them stronger. This man might be dangerous.
Mr. C gets up early in the morning so that the island man does not see him take his boat out and turn it into a submarine. Mr. C goes down underneath the water and takes out the magnifying glass - he hopes the fish is awake so he can ask it if it is a good fish or a bad fish.
Mr. C drives his boat around a long time and finds the fish. He uses the fish translator to ask the the question. The fish is a good fish!
Mr. C asks a second question. It is "Why do you look like a mean fish?"
The fish answers that he looks like a mean fish to scare the actual mean fish away. Those fish are his brothers.
Mr C. likes the good fish a lot and wants to help him. So he finds the bad fish (who has lots of teeth and lives surrounded by skulls of pirates). Mr. C scares away all the bad fish so that the good fish can be happy.
Mr. C goes back to his HQ. He has completed his mission.
THE END.
