The Greedy Mouse
A
greedy mouse saw a basket full of corn. He wanted to eat it. So he made a small
hole in the basket. He squeezed in through the hole. He ate a lot of corn. He
felt full. He was very happy. Now he wanted to come out. He tried to come out
through the small hole. He could not. His belly was full. He tried again. But
it was of no use. The mouse started crying. A rabbit was passing by. It heard
the mouse’s cry and asked: “Why are you crying my friend?” The mouse explained:
“I made a small hole and came into the basket. Now I am not able to get out
through that hole.” The rabbit said: “It is because you ate too much. Wait til
your belly shrinks”. The rabbit laughed and went away.
The
mouse fell asleep in the basket. Next morning his belly had shrunk. But the
mouse wanted to eat some corn. So he ate and ate. His belly was full once
again. He thought: “Oh! Now I will go out tomorrow”.
The
cat was the next passerby. He smelt the mouse in the basket. He lifted its lid.
He ate the mouse.
