 The mouse and the cat
The mouse lived in a small hole in the basement.
He is always waiting for the cat to leave so he could
go out and find some food. One day, the cat said
“you little mouse, I will eat you until your last bone.”
The mouse was so scared that his eyes would pop
out. But he answered bravely “you little cat, I am not
afraid of you, I can also eat you until your last bone.”
One day, the cat left and the mouse went out his house, he
saw a cheese cake on the table and said “oh yummy! That
cheese cake is so delicious, if I would eat that, I can have a
tummy as big as the elephant. Haha” when the mouse is
about to climb the table, the cat arrived and he immediately
ran to the mouse and said “this is my cheese cake! I will not
let you eat my cheese cake! Go away or I will punch you until
you land to a different planet!” the mouse was so scared and
he ended up searching for food outside. After that, they never
see eachother again.
