ABOUT A MOUSE

ID LIKE TO TELL A STORY ABOUT
A LITTLE MOUSE.


ALTHOUGH YOU WOULD THINK
IT SILLY--- THIS IS THE TRUTH I TELL.
MY SON AND I WENT TO THE LOCAL PET STORE

AND WE SAW A LITTLE SPECIAL MOUSE.
ALL" WHITE WITH APRICOT SPOTS"
QUIET DIFFERENT FROM THE REST.

AS WE WERE GAZING AT HIM WITH SUCH AMAZEMENT
AND DISBELIEF : HE WAS DANCING
AND DOING GYMNASTICS LIKE A MOST
EXPERIENCED GYMNAST.


MY SON AND I BOTH AGREED IT WOULD
BE A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY


WE TOOK THE LITTLE MOUSE HOME AND
DUSTED OFF A CAGE THAT ONCE BELONGED
TO A HAMSTER WHO HAS BEEN MISSING
FOR ABOUT 365 DAYS.

UNDECIDED WHAT TO NAME HIM WE PLACED HIM
IN THE CAGE, HE MADE HIMSELF RIGHT AT
HOME,
THE CAGE STILL HELD SOME SMALL TOYS AND MORSELS
OF FOOD :YOU GUESSED IT FOR 365 DAYS.

NOW SOME WOULD SAY WHERE CRAZY AND THINK
THAT WE NEED HELP,
BUT THE LOVE WE HAD FOR THIS LITTLE RODENT IS A
SPECIAL LOVE "STEWART LITTLE'S PROOF OF THAT".


ONE DAY I WENT TO WORK, THE KIDS ALL WENT TO
SCHOOL
TO OUR SURPRISE WHEN WE ARRIVED HOME "WHO
WAS MISSING?"

OUR LITTLE SPECIAL MOUSE.

HOW DID HE GET OUT ?????
THE DOOR WAS LOCKED AND CLOSED.
THE ONLY THING I COULD FIGURE OUT

HE SLID OUT BETWEEN THE BARS.
"WHAT A SNEAKY LITTLE MOUSE."

ONE NIGHT WE WERE ALL LAYING AROUND IN THE
FAMILY ROOM WATCHING OUR TV "WHO DO YOU THINK RAN BY SO FAST DOING GYMNASTICS ON THE FLOOR?" THE SPEEDY LITTLE MOUSE.

CATCH HIM WE SCREAMED
HURRY HE'S SO FAST WITH ALL THE FAMILY HELPING
IT WAS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK.

FEELING A BIT SAD WE ALL WENT TO BED
HOPING ONE DAY WE WILL FIND HIM "THE SOONER
THE BETTER" WE ALL SAID.

EARLY THE NEXT MORNING WHILE WALKING BY THE
THE CAGE
WHO DO YOU THINK WAS SNUGGLED AND COMFY, CURLED
UP IN A LITTLE BALL, OUR SNEAKY LITTLE MOUSE.


AMAZING HE JUST KNEW HOW TO GET IN AND OUT
AND COULD JUST COME AND GO AS HE PLEASED.

WHAT A WONDER FULL LIFE FOR A LITTLE

SPECIAL MOUSE.
