17-A MYSTERIOUS SHADOW IN THE FOG

A MYSTERIOUS SHADOW IN THE FOG We continued TRUDGING UP the mountain. The ICY wind sliced through my fur. I was exhausted! I was having trouble just breathing! You see, the higher you climb, the less oxygen there is in the air. I plodded along, dragging my paws. My heavy backpack was crushing me. I felt like I had been running the New Mouse City Marathon for weeks with ten rats strapped to my back. The only thing that kept me going was the professor. I knew we were getting closer to his hidden laboratory. The dear old

professor. He never stayed in one place for too long. That way, no one could steal his secret discoveries. I was the only one to know each new address. The professor trusted me. I would never give away personal information. Yep, I can hold my tongue when I need to. In fact, I would probably make a good spy mouse. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize I had dropped behind.

From off in the distance, I heard Trap singing: "Geronimo has vanished in the mist, How do we know if he still exists? Maybe he was so very smelly. He's now inside the yeti's belly!" I PICKED UP MY PACE. It was hard to find my way through the snowy fog.

And then I saw it. A tall, dark, HUMONGOUS shadow appeared before my eyes! The shadow seemed to be waving to me. I felt faint. It was the YETI!!! My whiskers were quivering with fear. Seconds later, the mysterious shadow disappeared.
