Sherlock Holmes
Today, Peterson came to my home, and he said "The goose had diamond in its stomach." Then he showed me it, I found it was precious stone which was stolen. I put an advertisement to look for Henry Baker because of my guessing.

Henry Baker Came to my home that evening, and I thought he was not criminal because of his answers. Then I asked him, Where did you buy this goose? He answered, Alpha Inn.

I went to Alpha Inn immediately to investigate the goose. I discovered that the goose had come from salesman called Mr. Breckenridge in Covent Garden. So I ans Watson went there to talk Mr. Breckenridge. Then we found a strange man, so we went after him. I asked him questions. His name is John Ryder. I knew everything about matter. After that we returned to my house to discuss the matter.

I solved a riddle. After that Ryder moved his tongue over his dry lips and began his story. Everything was clear.

I thought he will never commit another crime again.

Watson
I was surprised to hear that precious stone was found inside goose. It was the blue carbuncle which was stolen from the Countess of Morcar, according to the newspaper. I was very surprised again! Holmes and I started investigating the facts. We investigated some people, and traced criminal. Because the stone was returned, Holmes overlooked the criminal finally. Holmes shouted at the criminal, and he shot out of the room. I know the appearance isn't good, but it's Holmes kindness.

James Ryder
I'm James Ryder, an attendant at the hotel. I wanted to get Countess of Morcar's blue carbuncle. I broke the gate in her room and called Horner to repair it. When he had finished repairing the gate, I called the police and I could entrap Horner. After I had the blue carbuncle, I was terrified. Finally, I decided to go to Maudsley who told me how thieves sold property, but I didn't know how I could carry the stone. Then I had the idea to force one of the goose--a big white one with a barred tail to swallow the stone. Unfortunately I lost the goose, and I found that the goose was sold. I was panic. Now, Sherlock Holmes raked up my past misdeeds, and I reflected on every thing, so he forgave me.

Peterson
I am a commisionaire. I rushed in home of Sherlock Holmes. I was incredibly shocked because my wife found stone. It was a shiny blue stone. I showed it to Holmes. After I brought back goose in my house, my wife and I would eat goose. When my wife cut goose, my wife found a shiny blue stone which cuts glass like butter in its stomach. I was very surprised, and I decided to go Holme's house. I rushed in Holme's house with the stone. I felt incredibly shocked. I explained to Holmes what happened. If ound the stone was stolen by newspaper article. I was sent to buy another goose to give to Baker if he came, and to put the advertisement in all the newspapers.

Goose
I'm good fat goose! Do you want to eat me? ahaha--? But one day, Mr. Ryder hide a blue stone in my stomach. I thought I was Ryder's goose, but Peterson bought me. I was surprised!! Next, Peterson's wife found the blue stone. I was in Mr. Holmes's house, and I was hint of a case. Finally, Mr. Holmes solved that case and I was eaten by Mr. Peterson. Happy merry Christmas!

Catherine Cusack
I'm a Countess maid, Catherine Cusack. I broke the grate of Moracar's room and I rob the blue carbuncle because I and Ryder know that it is in her room. We are smart, so we hit upon a good idea! We framed Horner who come to repair the grate.

Mr. Breckenridge
I was so angry when people asked me about geese. When a little man came to me, I think he was the person asking me about geese. I thought a little man makes me irritated. So I said that I've had enough of you and your geese! and if you come here again, my dog will attack you!

Countess
Oh--what happened while I wasn't in my room? Where is my blue carbuncle? I have to notify the police of this accident!

John Horner
I have been arrested!!! Why was I arrested? I just went Countess' room for repair a bar of the grate. I didn't steal the blue carbuncle from the Countess of Morcar! Certainly, I had already been charged with robbery in the past, but I am innocent in this case!!!

Henry Baker
I was waiting in front of house with looking newpaper, then a man came back and invited me his house. He said to me he had eaten my goose. I got angry to hear that, but he bought new one for me. I was relief to hear that. He asked me, Do you want feathers, legs, and stomach?" I don't need them, so I said "No." Afterwords, he asked me "where did you get that goose?" I answered "Alpha Inn."
