23-TO TRAVEL... IS BETTER THAN TO ARRIVE

TO TRAVEL... IS BETTER THAN TO ARRIVE We headed for the airport exit. A school bus was waiting for Miss Angel Paws and her class. I waved good-bye. "I'll take a taxi home," I told them. A line of cheese-colored cabs waited at the curb. But for some reason, my paws didn't want to budge. My bag felt like it weighed a ton. An overwhelming feeling of sadness came over me. It had been such an exciting adventure. And now it was over. Just then, I remembered a line from one of my favorite authors. His name

was Robert Louis Squeakenson. Do you know him? He wrote a book called TREASURE ISLAND. Anyway, he said that TO TRAVEL IS BETTER THAN TO ARRIVE. Well, I don't know if that is true all of the time. Usually, I am thrilled to get back to my comfy, cozy mouse hole. But this time, I still had the travel bug in me. And so I did what any smart mouse would do. I turned around and headed right back into the airport. I, Geronimo Stilton, booked a trip to BLUE CHEESE ISLAND. I hear it's supposed to be beautiful there this time of year. Blue skies, blue waters, and lots and lots of blue cheese. I couldn't wait to get there!
