08-ICILES ON MY WHISKERS

ICICLES ON MY WHISKERS It took three hours to reach the castle. "There are icicles on your whiskers!" my sister told me. It didn't surprise me. I WAS SO COLD I felt like a mouse Popsicle! Benjamin had slipped under my coat to stay warm. I could hear his tiny teeth chattering. We had to find a way into the castle, or we were going to end up in the frozen food aisle at the King Cat Supermarket! Thea checked out the walls on the side of the castle. I stayed

in the front. At last. I spotted a big pipe that opened into the castle's moat. "Over here!" I called, crawling into the pipe. Guiet as mice, we scurried inside. I sniffed the air. "These must be the castle's sewers!" I choked. But there was no time to worry about the stinky smell. Holding one another's paws, we Crept to the end of the tunnel.
