24-I'M TOO FOND OF MY FUR

I'M TOO FOND OF MY FUR Tonight is a special occasion. The mouseum is going to present Thea, Trap, Benjamin, and me with an award. It's every mouse's dream: the GOLDEN RIND! Cheesecake! I'm so happy. This is better than winning the mouse lotto. Last night, I was so excited, I didn't sleep a wink. I got dressed hours ago. It's a formal ceremony, so I'm wearing my tuxedo. I have been pacing back and forth across my room. I can't wait for the ceremony to start! Thea calls me from the next room.

"Geronimo, are you ready?" "Yes!" I answer, running out. Thea is standing there in her gown, holding the keys to her sports car. She opens the door, hops into the car, and takes off... alone! I leave my mouse hole and walk to the subway station. It will be crowded at this time of day, but I don't care. I'm too fond of my fur!
