01-A WHACKING IN THE MORNING

Geronimo Stilton PAWS OFF, CHEDDARFACE!

A WHACKING IN THE MORNING... It all started one morning, I was on my way to the office when I was stopped by an elderly female rodent. No, she didn't stop me to ask the time. Or to get my autograph. Oh, did I tell you? I am a best-selling author and I run a newspaper called The Rodent's Gazette. Maybe you have heard of me. My name is Stilton, geronimo stilton. Anyway, as I was saying, this mouse was not a fan, She was the exact opposite. One minute, she was staring me in the snout, and the next, she'd

pulled out her umbrella. Then she whacked me over the head! I was in Shock. "What was that for?" I squeaked. The mouse just stamped her paw. "Young mouse, you have some nerve! Have you forgotten about the bus stop?" she shrieked. I shook my head. I had no idea what this mouse was talking about. "You stepped on my paw on Monday morning!" she insisted. "And you didn't even bother to apologize. How rude!" Without another word, she stalked off in a huff. I didn't know what to make of it. I had never seen that mouse before in my life! Un-be-liev-a-ble!
