The Mouse that wanted Cheese by Austyn Scruggs (best book club books TXT) 📕

Hello there. My name is Mr. Mouse and I love kids. I really love cheese too. Do you have any cheese. Well, okay. I don't like cats and people who try to hit me. I do like it when the just give me cheese. Did you know my family. I do. My Mom, Dad, and my brother ran away because they couldn't find food. Well today I am going to change that.

I started my march to the piece of cheese that lie up on the counter. I go forward 123 steps. I think. I looked around and saw a broom leaning to the counter. I climbed that mountain high broom. I got to the top and saw a better view of the cheese.(Boom) Mr. Cat jumped in front of me.

Mr. Mouse, Mr. Mouse,
What do I see ?
You in my house,
Do you really want that cheese ?

I don't think you'll get it because I won't let you.

I looked around him trying to find a spot where I can slip past him. He just stared at me. When I moved his claws came out. I saw a small space between the wall and a spoon stand. I ran and he hissed. I jumped up on a spoon, and it flung me through the air. Mr. Cat jumped and missed my by a tail. I landed in a empty bowl. I fell out and ran. He caught up to me. He jumped and I stopped on the edge of the counter. I looked up and he flew like a bird without wings over me. I looked down and he landed in a trash can. He was stuck.

I looked up from the trash can and saw the cheese. It was the closest I have been to it in a long time. I took off. I gave the cheese a big hug. I put on a bib. Picked up a tooth pick. Off I went to cutting the cheese. When I was done with it my stomach was as big as a cotton ball. I was full for a long time.

I started going home when I heard a mourn. I looked and saw Mr. Cat. He was crying. I went to the cabinet, and opened it. I pushed the cat food off the shelf. I jumped off, and slid the cat food to the edge and poured it on the floor. Then I went to the sink picked up a cup and filled it up with water. I carried it down the broom, and set it near the food. I picked up a pencil, and went to the back of the trash can. I shoved the pencil between it. It fell and the cat came out. He turned, smiled, and said,

" Mr. Mouse, Mr. Mouse,
What do I see ?
You in my house,
You can always have the cheese."
