14-A GIGANTIC PAWPRINT!

A GIGANTIC PAWPRINT! A week went by. I was getting so tired, I could hardly blink. The weather didn't help. It was COLDER than a deep-freeze cheddar slushy at The Icy Rat. Yes, we had left the lush green valleys behind. Now we stumbled over rocky canyons covered in LAYERS of ICE. Finally, we reached the path that led to the bottom of Mouse Everest. The snow whirled around us in mini-windstorms. Brrrrrrr!!! Brrrrrrr!!! Brrrrrrr!!!

I did my best to stay with the group. But they were all so much faster than me. Before long, I FOUND MYSELF ALONE. And that's when I saw it. A GIGANTIC pawprint in the snow. I cleaned my glasses. Could it be? Could it really be? I bent closer to get a better look. crumbling cheddar cheese crisps! My fur stood on end. It was the YETI's pawprint! I just knew it! "Found the yeti's pawprints life in danger Professor von Volt had said. I could hardly believe it. I was so excited I forgot about the cold. I even forgot about being tired. I'd found the YETI! My friend had to be nearby!

The yeti!" I squeaked, jumping up and down. "Come quick!" But the others couldn't hear me, They were already too FAR AWAY.
