02-GRANDFATHER WILLIAM SHORTPAWS

GRANDFATHER WILLIAM SHORTPAWS He was a large mouse with silver fur and shiny steel glasses. He was holding my phone in one paw. The other paw flipped through my desk calendar. He looked so comfortable in my chair, you'd think he owned the place. And, well, he did. You see, the mouse was my grandfather. GRANDFATHER WILLIAM SHORTPAWS. He was the founder of the company. Oops. I completely forgot to introduce myself. My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. I am a publisher. I run

the most popular newspaper in New Mouse City. It's called the The Rodent's Gazette. But where was I? Oh, yes, I was staring at my grandfather. "Hello, Grandfather," I squeaked. "How are you?"
