The Secret Meeting of the Mice

The Secret Meeting of the Mice

Some things never change. For example, mice have always been afraid of cats. When cats are hunting, some mice are lucky. Others are not. The mice in Cheese Town never knew when a cat might appear. They couldn’t tell how many cats were near.

There was no safe place for a mouse. Cats were everywhere. Finally, the mice realized that they had to do something. They decided to hold a meeting. “ Quiet, please, ” said Mr. Whiskers, the mayor of the mice.

“ As you know, we have a big problem with cats. What can we do?” he asked. A mouse named Luke waved his hand. “ Yes, Luke? Do you have any ideas?” asked Mr. Whiskers.

“ We can make cat traps! ” Luke said excitedly. “ Instead of cheese, we can use fake mice. ” " Any other ideas?” Mr. Whiskers asked. “ Yes, Alice?” “ We can poison them, ” suggested Alice.

“ When the cats are sleeping, we can put poison in their milk. ” Mr. Whiskers shook his head. “ Any more ideas?” All the mice began to speak at once. Every mouse had a different idea.
