■Game 2
MoMo bought a pineapple bun this afternoon and left it on her desk. After her piano lesson, it was missing! Can you help MoMo identify the culprit by examining the following testimonies?
Bill: I passed by your room and smelled something delicious. I saw the pineapple bun. It looked so tempting, but I just glanced at it.
Pat: I was in the art room all afternoon. I didn't even know you bought a pineapple bun! I enjoy pastries, but I wouldn't take something that wasn't mine. Oh, I remember seeing a boy near your desk.
Eason: I was outside playing basketball and didn't come back until later. I didn't take it. I'd rather play a game than have a treat! By the way, both Pat and Bill have a known sweet tooth. They can never resist soft, sweet buns!
