Our Town Series Featuring Simon and Sophia: Our Founding Fathers and Town Services

By Bernadette Kolbeck

What is a town, and how does a town get started? These are some of the questions asked by Simon and Sophia.

They were joined by twin friends Ryan and Alyssa, who wanted to know more about Slinger.

We visited the two most important services a town can offer which is police protection and fire safety.

The children learned that the police officer carried most of their tools on their uniform, much as the military. They wear their pistols or handgun in a holster and the big guns close by.

The tour of the fire department was so interesting. They were shown some of the tools firefighters use on the job, and then they were given a ride in a bright green fire truck.

Suddenly, across the path of the children ran a dog with a bloody hip, running very fast. The four children ran after it to give the dog help. However, the dog ran into a broken-down building, and was nowhere to be found. Then the four children disappeared. What happened to the children? What happened to the dog? Can you solve this suspenseful mystery?
