In our weekly staff meeting，our editor Ashley was not pleased with the quality of our reporting.“Our readership is way down.We need better stories for this Thursdays school newspaper.Does anybody have any ideas？”she said.

I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point.“Sports stories are fun，”she said，“but not good enough for the front page.We need something to really get peoples attention.”

After our meeting，we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming.“Perry is missing！”Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot for ten years.He played an important role in students'lives，both in and out of class.He had also been a constant presence at school events，inspiring a sense of unity among students.

Everyone gathered around Perrys empty cage，heartbroken.Suddenly，a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo.“Youre a reporter for the school paper，right？ I happened to take this yesterday，”he said.In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot.

“He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game！”Ashley cried.We hurried back to the newsroom，agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry.”“This is just the story we need.Everyone will read it，”Ashley said confidently.

After she left，I took a closer look at the photo.The clock in the background read 4∶15 pm，but our game against Deerfield hadnt started until 4∶30 pm.Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played？An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone.I went to Perrys usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing.“Hes not missing.Hes retired.Hes ready for some quieter days，”he said. Learning the truth，I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry.
