I am a mouse.
My name is Niblet. I live in a little
hole in a house. Living in the house
is a man, a woman, a boy, and a
girl. I like the two children a
lot. They always leave crumbs behind
and I get to eat them when everyone
is asleep. They also have cool little
toys. Some of the toys are good
for my home so I borrow them and
use them in my house. Last week
I found a little chair, just big
enough for me. It fits so nicely
in my living room.
Today I found
a little spoon. It is great for
scooping up crumbs that are in cracks
that I can't reach.
I also have
a little blanket that I found under
the little boy's bed. It really
isn't a blanket, it is an old shirt
from his little teddy bear. He doesn't
need it anymore because he got his
bear a new shirt and the old one
makes a perfect blanket for me.
I miss the kids
when they go to school in the morning.
The house is so quiet without them.
I really miss all of the squeaks
and noise they make. Kids are just
like mice.
I love the family
I live with, and I hope they never
find out about me. People are scared
of mice and try to get rid of them
if they find us in their house.
That's why I need to be so quiet.
Shhhhhh!
