Tom the Mouse

One chilly November night, a little mouse went out hunting. The mouse’s name was Tom. This was Tom’s first time hunting in his life! Tom was very excited.

“I can’t wait!” Tom thought.

He was waiting for his mom to come back and say the humans are gone. Finally, at 10:00pm his mom came in and said he could go.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life!” Tom thought.

Then he picked up a scent. Then another, and another! He picked one and followed it. It led to some bread in a plastic bag.

“It’s the invisible protector mommy and daddy told me about,” remembered Tom.

“How do you destroy it again? Oh, yeah. You gnaw!”

Before he knew what he was doing, he was gnawing furiously at the invisible protector.

“Come on, come on!” thought Tom.

Finally there was a hole.

“Yes!” Tom thought aloud.

Then he pulled it apart a bit so he could fit in and then climbed inside.

“I’m in heaven!” Tom thought aloud.

He ate quite a lot when he remembered that there were other things to eat. He got out and started following a different scent. When he reached the end, he looked around.

“It’s got to be around here somewhere,” Tom thought.

Then he felt something gooey and sticky on his foot. He tried to pull his foot out, but he couldn’t.

“Uh oh,” thought Tom. “I’ve got to get out of here.”

He tried hitting it with his other foot but it got stuck too.

“No!” Cried Tom.

“Help, HELP!”

Nobody came. Tom was scared.

“Well, since I can’t move, I’m just going to sleep,” thought Tom.

So he drifted off to sleep. Suddenly he woke up.

“Something must have woken me up,” Tom thought. “I couldn’t have just woken up all of a sudden for no reason.”

Then he heard it.

“THE HUMANS HAVE WOKEN ME UP!” Tom thought aloud. “GET UP BODY, GET UP!!!”

Tom was nearly petrified!

He was trying with all his might but he couldn’t get up. Then, a human picked up the tray of gooey stuff that Tom was on.

“NOOO, NOOO!!!” screamed Tom, but his cries were useless. No one came to rescue him. Then the human that picked him up said something and three other humans came. Then, they looked at Tom and said something Tom did not understand.

“What are they going to do to me?” thought Tom. “I’m innocent, I’m innocent!!! he yelled.

The humans did not listen. Instead they put Tom and the tray of gooey stuff in a paper bag.

“What is this place?” thought Tom. Then he was swinging and hitting something.

“OWWWW!!!!” thought Tom. It felt like all his bones were broken and sore.

“Oh well, ” thought Tom, “I guess I am going to die. bye-bye family. It’s the end of me”

The end.
