Midnight Snack Adventure

Mouse woke up with a rumble in his belly. “Oh dear,” he said. “My stomach is shouting

at me.” He grabbed his tiny lantern and marched to the kitchen, determined to find

something delicious. Mouse climbed the counter like a brave explorer. He opened the bread

box… and found one lonely crumb of cheese. Mouse gasped. “A treasure!

Left here by the cheese gods!” He lifted the crumb over his head triumphantly— and immediately

dropped it. Mouse sighed, picked it up off the floor, and said,

“A little dirt never hurt anyone,” and happily munched his midnight snack.
