The Horrible Mouse

 

The Horrible Mouse

It was 8.00 pm and it was a rainy night. Mr Edmonds was doing his work. Then all of a sudden he glimpsed an ugly mouse running around his house like it was lost.

He tried catching the mouse, but the mouse was as fast as a cheetah. He set up mouse traps with cheese on but the mouse ignored it. The mouse knew it was a trick. Then Mr Edmonds put his left over cheese near the door and tried calling the mouse over. So the mouse went near the door and sneakily took the cheese while Mr Edmonds wasn’t looking. After the mouse took the cheese Mr Edmonds looked at the the door and found that the cheese was gone, he slowly turned around and saw the mouse running with the cheese. He actually thought that the mouse would run outside with the cheese.

Mr Edmonds gave up trying to get the mouse with mouse traps and his leftover cheese, instead Mr Edmonds tried to find a good spot to catch the mouse. But the mouse went to a good hiding space where Mr Edmonds couldn’t find him. Mr Edmonds searched his whole house for the mouse but he couldn’t seem to find it so he went to the place where he usually went and that was his little cupboard. When he opened the door a big creaking sound happened, Mr Edmonds said  “Oh dear! I really need to fix this cupboard, I wonder how long it’s been since I opened the door”. Then all of a sudden he spotted the mouse hiding in the old, musty cupboard.

When he found the mouse he saw the mouse trying to rip up all of his favorite books, he said to the mouse “What on earth are you doing to my favorite books?” The mouse just squeaked and ran out of the cupboard. Mr Edmonds tried hitting the mouse with his chair but he couldn’t do it so he waited a bit and found the mouse sitting near the doorstep.

After finding the mouse near the doorstep he swooped up the mouse with his hands and set it free so it can be with its family again. After Mr Edmonds caught the mouse he went back to work and worked as busy as a bee until he had finished everything he had to do.
