NAME:
Once upon a time there was a very greedy little mouse.
He lived above a cupboard in the kitchen.
The owner of the house scolded the cat all the time, but it was the fault of the little mouse that ate everything good that appeared.
Every time the cat tried to catch it, it fled to the top of the closet.
The cat was beaten with a broom and was thrown out of the house, always taking the blame.
Juninho, the boy of the house, arrived one day with chocolates, ate a portion and left the rest on the sofa...
Of course it's gone! Guess who ate?
The naughty little mouse that ate everything.
One day the family had to leave, but beforehand the hostess called the cat and said:
– Pay attention pussy, I just made a chocolate cake and I'll leave it here on the table to cool. When we get back I want everything just right, got it? If I don't get you out of the way!
The cat was terrified...
The way is to pay close attention, not neglect it, he thought.
But from the top of the closet, the mouse was already getting ready to come eat the cake.
Suddenly the cat had an idea!
He opened the refrigerator door and very carefully put the cake inside.
When he opened the fridge the mouse looked into it, and, um, what a delight, cheese, ham. What a good thing!
The pussy didn't close the fridge door, put a broom on the door and went into hiding.
The greedy little mouse came down quickly, entered the fridge and ate, ate everything, he was so fed up with eating that he didn't notice that the door softly closed.
He was really tired and he lay down on a jelly and rocked back and forth. He fell asleep.
He was getting cold, cold and was enveloped by a fog and when he saw he was inside a rock of ice.
Poor pussy, when his owner came back and didn't see the cake on the table! What a shout...
The cat tried to explain, taking it to the fridge and nothing, she didn't listen.
He was thrown out on the street by broomsticks!
But what a fright Juninho had when he looked for a gelatine in the fridge!
There it was frozen, the naughty little mouse.
He called the mother who finally understood what the pussy meant.
They looked for the pussy that was in the garden half hurt from so much broom.
The mouse? Well, this one was thrown very far from the house and rolled down the slope, as it was an ice ball!
Hey look out, see?
Pay attention there may be a surprise in your fridge!!!
