The Surprised Mouse

 Slowly and cautiously, he raised his small, curious face above the ground, just as he did every morning. His shiny, black eyes surveyed the scene in front and around him, checking that the coast was clear for the start of the breakfast expedition.

Suddenly, he saw it…Sitting there right in front of him. His eyes widened, transfixed on the sight he saw in front of him, and his jaw dropped open in astonishment. Was it really there? Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

Abruptly, he awoke, as if he had been caught in a dream. Twitching his whiskers, he realized that he had to act NOW, unless he was to miss his chance.

The sunlight was beaming in his eyes, when he started to chase the thing that caught his eye.  He didn’t know what he was chasing but he knew whatever he was chasing, he needed to find it.  

After about 15 minutes of running, he was exhausted.  He thought about stopping but he knew this was his only chance to reach his goal.  He knew he needed a faster way to catch up to whatever he was after so he looked around for something to ride.  He looked around, then he saw it, a much faster way of transportation.

The bright sky was turning dim.  He was getting tired, but he persisted, knowing this was his only chance to catch what he needed.  When the night sky covered the whole sky, he was finally able to catch what he had been looking for.  A golden encrusted diamond ring!

The Tale of a mouse who saw the best thing in the world, and the only chance to get it. People might've thought he was chasing after his love of his life, maybe it was safety, or maybe it was he long lost mother, But low and behold, it was a golden encrusted diamond ring. What a cheeky mouse, but one who put his life on the line for it, truly a determined young mouse.
