This is Jasmine.
-
She runs the biggest bug hunting company in
Codeville.
-
It's famous for keeping the community safe
from trouble.
-
Early this morning, something unexpected happened!
-
Someone left the door to the bug room open
and a swarm of pesky bugs escaped into the
-
city, right before the big talent program.
-
"That's why I hired you!"
-
Jasmine said to JD.
-
"If we don't collect all of the bugs by three
o'clock, the program will be ruined!"
-
"This should be easy," JD said, looking around.
-
"I see a few here, and few over there."
-
"Oh, those are only the spotted bugs," Jasmine
said.
-
"Those bugs are easy to get under control.
-
It's the unspotted bugs that cause the most
trouble."
-
"Unspotted bugs are harder to find.
-
They hide where you don't expect them and
make things worse and worse until it seems
-
like nothing works at all."
-
"Oh no!" shouted JD.
-
"How will we ever get them all in time to
save the program?"
-
"Don't worry, I'll teach you a trick for
spotting an unspotted bug."
-
"First, you have to know where it's not."
-
"Take a walk down the street.
-
Does everything work at the first step?"
-
"Does everything work at the second step?
-
How about the third?"
-
"Trace your trail step-by-step until something
goes wrong."
-
"That's where the bug is hiding!"
-
"Now that you know where it is, spot the bug!
-
Give it a name and say it out loud.
-
As soon as you do, magic happens."
-
"The bug has been spotted!
-
Now we can undo the trouble that the bug has
caused."
-
"Hurry, Jasmine!
-
It's almost three o'clock!"
-
"We're still missing one big bug," Jasmine
said.
-
"But my jar is full!
-
You'll have to find it on your own."
-
"JD stepped nervously out onto the sidewalk.
-
"First, you have you know where it's not,"
he whispered to himself.
-
"Does everything work at the first step?
-
Yes."
-
"Does everything work at the second step?
-
Yes."
-
"How about the third?
-
No!"
-
"Now that I know where the bug is, I need
to spot the bug!"
-
"Give it a name.
-
Say it out loud."
-
"The bug is making the light not work, so
I'll call it Sparky."
-
"It worked!
-
I've spotted the bug!
-
Now I can remove the bug and fix the trouble
it caused.
-
Just in time for the talent program!"
-
JD has made Jasmine so proud.
-
Now the whole town knows that when things go wrong,
-
it's time to put the Debuggers to work!
-
The End!
