1. Mousey’s New Friends By Belicia Macias

2. Once upon a time there was a mouse named Mousey.

3. Mousey always wore a pink bow between her ears. Mousey was a girl. She had 9 brothers and 9 sisters and 9 baby sisters. She was very helpful. She was light gray.

4. A dog and three people lived in the house with Mousey. The house has five windows. The house was very, very big. The house had two doors it also had a basement and a attic and it was very quiet.

5. Mousey was collecting crumbs to feed her family.

6. She saw rats, lots of gray rats.

7. Mousey was scared of rats really, really, really, scared of rats because she thought that they would hurt her. Especially gray rats.

8. The rats said, “we won’t hurt you so don’t be scared of us because we will be your friends if you don’t hurt us.” “No, I won’t hurt you,” she said.

9. Now she knows that when she sees a rat she isn’t supposed to be scared because they will always be her friends for ever and ever.

10. The rats and mice lived happily ever after! The end
