Hi! I am your average household mouse named Cindy. One day I thought of exploring above the basement stairs. My family said to be careful, and to be home in the mouse hole before dinner. I told them I would.I climbed up to see what was going on. Then, my pink nose smelled this lovely aroma coming from the kitchen. I followed it, but I heard a human coming towards the kitchen, too. So I crawled into a picnic basket which was just next to me. A few minutes later I felt as though I was moving. Someone was carrying the picnic basket. I sat in it for about 5 minutes, then I was being lifted again, this time onto the soft sand on a beach. I didn't know that until I crawled out again.
The humans set out a picnic blanket. I cuddled up in it. Then the humans began to eat. One of them dropped some crumbs of a sandwich down on the picnic blanket. I ate every crumb.Mmmm. That was a good meal.
Then, somehumans tried to hit a beach ball over a net. I watched. Then it came towards me. I jumped up and hit it back! The humans just thought the beach ball was real bouncy.I continued hitting the ball whenever someone had it fall towards me. That was a fun game.
Later that day, when the humans went home, I did too, and told my family about my little adventure. I also didn't miss dinner!
