The Pea Mystery

Fighting Words Dublin, St Mary's National School, Tallaght, 5th Class, 14th September 2026

Pam the Pea was walking through the grocery shop in Pea World. She was reaching for the tomatoes when she got stuck.

Some random burger guy helped her and got her unstuck.

Burger guy asked, “Since we’re friends now, do you wanna come back to my house?”.

“Yeah,” she replied.

When they arrived at the house he pushed her into a portal. The portal was square, purple, and made a ‘whhirrrrrrr’ sound when she was pushed into it. She landed in a frying pan in the human world!

Some person came in and turned on the cooker.

It was Johnny who was cooking some corn.

“I don’t want to be eaten!” screamed Pam.

Fred the Spider came down from the ceiling and put a web around her and they rolled back up.

“I was in the grocery shop in Pea World when I followed you back to the random burger guy’s house, and through the portal,” said Fred.

“Oh my God you saved me!” shrieked Pam.

Fred led Pam home through the portal. They landed back in the burger guy’s house where they saw more vegetables being captured!

“Now that I’ve captured all of your friends, what are you going to do? I’m unstoppable because I’m Bobby the Beef Burger!”.

Pam immediately recognised the name. She had seen it on posters around Pea World. Bobby the Beef Burger was a suspect of all the veggie-nappings...
