02-THEA'S SECRET

THEA'S SECRET At lunchtime, my sister, Thea, who is a special correspondent for The Rodent's Gazette, came by on her motorcycle. "I am taking you out to lunch," she said. "We've got reservations at The mouse House." She grabbed my paw and whispered, "I have to tell you a very important secret." TWENTY MINUTES later, I peeled myself off Thea's motorcycle.
