NAME:

Boris the sleeper

Today, Boris, the house mouse, has decided to call his cousin Georgeta, the possum, and invite her to lunch.
- I will, if you promise to be in a good mood - she replies.
– Last time you slept all day!
Soon, Boris starts preparing a good lunch to do Georgeta's honors. Then he decides to clean the house: Georgeta will be proud of him!
And Boris cooks and shines all morning.

Around noon, as Georgeta had not yet arrived, he sat for a moment in an armchair to rest, as he really deserved it!
A few moments later, Georgeta knocks on the door, knocks again, loudly... No one answers, Boris is sleeping soundly!
'It's always the same thing,' grumbles Georgeta, walking away, 'it's very strange having a house mouse for a cousin!
