Dear Children,

Today’s story is called ‘Two Mice’.

One day, a real mouse met a computer mouse. Suddenly, a cat began to chase the real mouse and tried to catch him. What happened next?

Let’s begin…

One day, a little mouse climbed onto a table to explore. “Oooh, yum! This looks tasty.” “Oww! Owww! Who’s hurting me?” cried a voice. “Who are you?” asked the mouse. “I’m a mouse,” was the response. “But I’m a mouse.” “I’m a mouse too.” The rst mouse laughed. “ a ha! What kind o a mouse are you? What can you do?”

The mouse ran to the kitchen and brought back some cake.

“Look! This is what a mouse can do. A real mouse can eat cake. YOU can’t.”

“Little mouse, watch and learn,” responded the other mouse. She pulled up a picture o cake on the computer screen.

The rst mouse was unconvince­d. “You can’t do what a real mouse can do.” e picked up a pencil rom the desk and chewed at it. “Look at what I did to this pencil – this is what a real mouse can do!”

The other mouse pulled up a picture o some logs onto the screen. “I can do more than that. Look!” “Well, can you dance like me?” asked the rst mouse. Suddenly, the house cat appeared, hissing. “O O! elp!” cried the rst mouse. “What do I do? What do I do?” the rst mouse cried, running away. The other mouse acted uickly, bringing up a video o a barking dog on the screen to scare the cat away. “BOW! BOW! BOW!” The rst mouse gave the other mouse a hug. “Thank you! You saved my li e. You’re a good mouse, ust like me.” -The End
