THe Flying mouse (4)

The Flying mouse (4)

And then came on the dark black night.

The place he knew were out of sight.

And then, in the darkness, he heard an awful hiss.

" Heavens ! " said the mouse.
" Now, what is that ? "

And then in the air, flying everywhere were terrible bats.
They looked like a great black flying rats.
Bats !

The bats were glad to see the mouse, and they flew with him into a darkened house.

But the mouse was not very pleased at that.
A mouse wll never be pleased with a bat.

The mouse was not happy there in the dark with the snarling bats, and the hiss and the squeak and the other sounds that black bats speak.

When morning came and he looked around, the bats were sleeping upside down.

So the little mouse flew down to the ground.
He flew to the ground and ran to the brook.

And there in a pool of the waterーhe took one look !

" Oh, dear me ! Now what is that ? "

For the flying mouse looked like a little fat bat.
And little mouse did not like that.
