The Mouse and The Oyster
There was once a mouse that live on the farm. He always had enough to eat and lots of room to run around. However the mouse was bored. “I wonder what it would be like to travel the world”, the mouse thought. I could ride the seas in big ships like an explorer!” “Its too risky”,warned his friend, the pig “you know nothing about the world,” But the mouse decided to explore the world. He said goodbye to his friends and home. After days of travelling, the Mouse reached the Ocean. “what a wonderful place!”, I can smell the sea!” thought the Mouse. Then, he saw an Oyster that the tide had washed on to the beach. The mouse had never seen an Oyster before. “This must be the ship that explorers travel on!” The mouse put his head inside the Oyster’s shell. The Oyster, at once, closed its shells and killed the foolish Mouse.
