Page 18 - Mousy Mouse Has a Bad Day

With that statement, Mousy ran down the loft ladder and out of the barn. She ran across the barnyard and back through the open kitchen door. Mousy was not as careful this time and made a lot of noise.
She scrambled up the kitchen table leg to the top of the table. In her rush she knocked over the salt shaker and it rolled to the edge of the table, then fell to the floor with a crash.
All the time this was going on, Mousy was mumbling to herself, “I’ll show them. I’ll prove that I am the best.” She reached the platter of cheese and grabbed the other half of the block of cheese. Mousy lifted the heavy cheese and turned to leave.
Then a long shadow fell over the table and Mousy looked up into two large yellow eyes and a smiling, whiskered mouth.
Needless to say, Mousy had a very bad day.
