My name is Ms. Coolie and I live on a farm. The farm is called Woodruff farms, but it had to be switched to Smith’s when the Smiths moved in.

Every mouse knew Mrs. Carlson came to get a new mouse every year for her class. I was hoping when she came at 4:35, she would pick me.

Three hours later, she came and do you know what she did? She picked me up by my tail and put me in a box.

When we got to school, Mrs. Carlson put me in a cage. I soon found out I could get out of the cage.

That night I squeezed out and went to find food. I found a scooter and went rid-ing across the room.

When I stopped, I was really thirsty . I found a yellow bucket with water in it.

While I was drinking, I lost my grip and fell in the bucket. I could not get out.

I almost died that night but luckily Kim the night watchman, got me out before I drowned.

He put me in my cage where it was dry and warm.

I was glad to be back in my wonderful house.
