The Number Thief
What really happened the night before Christmas!
(multiplying by 6)

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
I was mad as a mouse!
My parents had forced me,
To clean the whole house!
To clean up the mess,
Number Thief had left there,
After I’d pulled,
His ugly green hair…
My parents had gone,
To the mall with grand-pop,
While alone I scrubbed dirt,
With a broom and a mop…

I wished for a present,
A new baseball cap,
A night without thief,
A really long nap!
I wished for 5 boxes,
Not filled with toy trains,
I wanted them filled,
With video games!

If there were 5 boxes with 6 video games in each box,
how many video games were there in total?

(type your answer in the box!)
