21-DON'T LOOK SO WORRIED

DON'T LOOK SO WORRIED... Thea was the most excited about the golden-yellow cheese. "I have the most brilliant IDEA!" she squeaked. That night, I heard her typing away on her computer. What was my crazy sister up to now? You just never knew with Thea. One time, she tried to get into the fashion business. She began designing her own clothes. She made me test out all of her samples. I was running around in skirts for weeks. Everyone at the office made fun of me. Lucky for

me , Thea came to her senses. She realized she was better at shopping for clothes than making them. The next morning, Thea scampered into the kitchen. In one paw she held a cup of steaming coffee. In the other was a wad of papers. "Here it is!" she announced. "The ANSWER to our GUIDEBOOK PROBLEM!" I chewed my whiskers nervously. What had Thea cooked up this time? There was no way she'd get me in a dress again. And I put my paw down at the thought of high heels. "Don't look so worried, Gerry Berry," my sister giggled. "My idea is really very simple." And it was. No mouse would want to buy a

guidebook on Ratzikistan, Thea reminded us. But every mouse would love to sink his or her teeth into some delicious cheddarella cheese. "Instead of a guidebook, we'll publish a cookbook!" Thea squeaked. "We can fill it with yummy cheddarella cheese recipes!"
