If you give a mouse a cookie,!he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.!!When you give him the milk,!he’ll probably ask you for a straw.!!When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a napkin.!!Then he’ll want to look in a mirror!to make sure he doesn’t!have a milk mustache.!!When he looks in the mirror,!he might notice his hair needs a trim.!!So he’ll probably ask for a pair of scissors.!!When he’s finished giving himself a trim, he’ll!want a broom to sweep up.!!He’ll start sweeping.!!He might get carried away and sweep every!room in the house.!!He may even end up washing the floors as well!!!When he’s done, he’ll probably want to take a nap.!!…!
