I'm Mikey and I'm a twenty pound mouse.  

The folks at the cheese factory love my owner 

because she buys cheese all the time. 

When I was younger, my mom gave me all 

the cheese I wanted to eat in the world.

One day out of the blue, my mother never 

returned.    I was alone for a while.   Until one 

day, I found my new owner, Lucy, taking a 

stroll in the park.   She picked me up and took 

me to her home.  

She loves me.   I love her.   We are one big 

happy family, literally.   We share a strong 

bond... for cheese.

Lucy's mom despises mice especially me 

because all I do is chow down and rest up for 

my next meal. 

I am a bottomless pit.   I don't get full often 

but when I do the rest of the time I dream of 

wonderful, wonderful cheese!

Bright and early the next morning, I smelled 

bacon.

I thought to myself, "I must investigate!"   I 

crawl into my hamster ball and briskly went 

down my slide that leads me safely to the 

floor.

I swiftly tumble down the stairs in pursuit of 

the smell of bacon.

I follow the smell of bacon into the kitchen and 

roll to the chair where I find Lucy sitting.

Lucy is pleasantly surprised by my arrival and 

quickly releases me from my hamster ball.

She hoists me up with all her might. She 

places me on her plate so I can devour all of 

the bacon.

After I finish eating, she gently lowers me into 

my cleaning bowl.   Splish! Splash!   I'm all 

clean and ready for the day to begin. 

Lucy puts me back in my ball and carries me 

to my cage that is filled with my favorite 

cheese.  

I jump out of the ball and gobble down all of 

the yummy cheese. 

Lucy leaves to go to her first day of school.   I 

am all alone.   I think to myself, "Whatever 

shall I do?   However shall I eat?"

To my surprise, Lucy's mom comes into the 

room. She has a mean grin on her face.

She grabs me and carries me downstairs.   I 

start to get fidgety but her grip is too strong to 

break free.

She opens the front door and throws me into 

the grass. I scurry away and find a hiding 

place under a bush where I wait anxiously for 

Lucy to get home.   Lucy couldn't have come 

soon enough, as I hear the squeaky bus 

wheels come to a halt. 

Lucy eagerly jumps out of the bus.   As Lucy 

approaches the front door, her mother was 

standing in the doorway with her arms 

crossed.   She had a somewhat gloomy look on 

her face.   I heard her say "I'm sorry Lucy, 

Mikey was not in his cage when I went 

upstairs." Her mother acts sad as she looks 

towards the ground.
