The Young MouseOnce upon a time there was a young mouse who had never left his
mother’s side. One day the young mouse went outside for a walk
to explore. But it was not long until he came running back to his
mother.
“Mother! Mother!” said the young mouse. “What a scare I have had!
I was walking along when I saw two strange animals. One of them
looked a lot like me. She had paws and a tail. She looked soft, and
kind, and graceful.
“But the other one was a scary monster! You should have seen him!
He had just two legs and scratched at the ground with his claws. He
kept beating his arms. He was ugly, too. He had no fur, just feathers,
and he had big red flaps hanging from his head and neck. But what
scared me the most was the awful sound he made. It sounded like
cock-a-doodle-doo!”
