15-SO LONG, STILTON!

So LONG, STILTON! After ten years, the sun came up. Well, OK, maybe it was only ten hours. Still, it felt like I'd been sulking in the dark forever. The city was slowly waking up. Rodents rushed by on their way to work. Taxis raced down the streets. Everyone was going somewhere, doing something. I sighed, feeling VEBY SAD. I had NO home. I had NO work. I had NO family, NO friends. I was like a smelly sewer rat at a big party. No one wanted to dance with me. I was an outcast in my own town! I stuck my paw in my pocket. I found some change. Cheesecake! At least I wasn't totally broke. I could buy myself a newspaper, I love reading the news,

But when I got to the newsstand, I nearly fainted. The front page of every newspaper was the same, The headlines read, So long, stilton! Hello, Sally! I picked up the paper with shaking paws. Then I began to read. The article said that I had signed a secret agreement with Sally Ratmousen. Sally was now the owner of my paper, The Rodent's Gazette! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was all so crazy, It seemed Sally had bought my paper for next to nothing. Mice everywhere were shocked. Especially all of the mice at The Rodent's Gazette.

Sally had fired them all. She had even fired my sister! How rude! How low! How evil! "The Rodent's Gazette is mine, mine, mine!" Sally had said when the deal was done. By now, steam was pouring out of my ears. I was so angry I couldn't even squeak! So this is what Sally was up to all along. She had hired the fake Geronimo just to get her paws on my paper! Now I everyone thought I had sold my priceless RODENT'S GAZETTE! I chewed my whiskers, deep in thought. I had to come up with a plan. I had to get my paper back I had to let Sally know the "S" in Stilton doesn't stand for simpleton!
