Reading

Squeaky was a little gray mouse, who lived with his mother in a dark hole in a cellar. One day he came runnign to his mother. he was so frightened that his tail shook. Oh Squeaky, said his mother, what has happened? why do you shake so. other, answered Squeaky, I have been out to see the world.

I was tired staying in our little dark home, so I went to the barnyard. There I saw a beautiful animal which looks a little like me. Looks like you! said mother mouse, nono squeaky, there’s no animal in the barnyard that looks like you. Yes mother, said Squeaky, it really does. It has a smooth gray coat like mine, but it is much bigger than I am. Mother mouse began to be frightened too. Go on Squeaky, she said. Tell me more about this animal. Squeaky went on, it was sitting in the sun and singing a little song. It looked so kind that I wanted to talk to it. I thought it would like little mice.

Tell me about this strange beast, said mother mouse. Squeaky said, he has a long sharp nose and a strange red chin that shakes when he walks. He looked very fierce. Oh my, how he frightened me. Mother mouse thought and thought. What animal could that be it must be some terrible beast that she had never seen. But Squeaky went on talking. but mother, he said, the cat looked so kind, and the rooster looked so very fierce. How could I tell which one would hurt me? Mother mouse stopped laughing and said, remember Squeaky, it is never sage to talk to strange animals. you can’t tell by their looks which ones are nice.
