Stories From Grandpa Mouse

Come here Junior; sit on grandpa’s knee.
I’ll tell you
a few stories of my childhood.
I had a friend by the name of The Professor
and
these are some of his tales and a few of my own.
We used to live in this big old house on a hill across town.
The lady of the house would say in her frustrated tone,
“I’m tired of that ole pesky mouse.”
Into the kitchen to find a mousetrap she would go, slippers a flappin’ and hair a flyin’.
She’d knock on the door of that little ole mouse and say,
“Dinner is ready.”
The spring is set tight already to snap.
The rich aroma of fresh homemade cheese fills the air.
The Professor and his friend Gullible would sit and gaze mesmerized by this delicious
sight.
The Professor, looks at the cheese turns with
a smile and says to Gullible, “You grab the cheese.”

Well, Junior.
In this old house there lived a cat.
This ole kitty cat would sit and stare.
Pounce, then sit, pounce, then sit, and then he would give your ole grandpa a slap or two.
One day, your poor ole grandpa decides to give upand play dead.
Being a mean ole kitty cat,
he decides to carry me to the lady of the house.
Kitty cat spies the next door neighbor.
Knowing she does not like cats, he approaches with a sweet kitty cat smile and says,
“Please be my friend, pretty please.
I’ll give you my pet mouse as a present,”
as he drops me at her feet.
I hit the floor on the run and slide into the nearest hole.
The lady screams in fright.
The catsays,
“Oh!
Shucks!
Darn ole mouse got away again. Maybe I should try fish.”

Well! Junior. It’s time for bed.
I’ll tell you more stories tomorrow.
Now jump into bed.
Lights out.
Good night Junior, don’t let the kitty cat bite.


Hugs
BonBon
P.S.
I decided to make this into a childrens book and used MSPublishers cartoons. It was fun making it up. Then I gave it to parents of new little ones.
Hope you enjoy.
