Pip and Daisy

by Ashlee Barton

Once there was a greedy mouse named Pip. Pip is a small grey mouse. He is very mischievous.

Pip's mom is a reddish chestnut-brown color. She is a very kind (yet sometimes strict) mouse.

Pip's mom's friend has a daughter named Daisy. Daisy is an adorable furry white mouse. Her mom is a light creamy brown color.

One day Pip's mom invited Daisy and her mom for supper.

"That sounds great!" said Daisy's mom, "What time is it at?"

"6:00," said Pip's mom, "After supper the kids can play for awhile."

At 6:00 Daisy and her mom went over to Pip's house. "I'm hungry," wailed Pip," When's dinner?"

"In a little bit," his mom said.

Awhile later dinner was ready. The mice sat down at the table. "Oops!" said Pip's mom, "I forgot the potatoes!"

"I'll help you get them," said Daisy's mom.

As the mothers left Pip was thinking, "Maybe," he thought, "Yes!"

Daisy was waiting patiently, then Pip said, "The soup's too hot. Go and wait outside. When the soup cools I'll get you."

"Okay," said Daisy, and with that she went outside.

"Yes!" said Pip, "Now I'll eat Daisy's food." He ate her carrots and corn. When Daisy came back Pip said, "The soup is cold now. Go outside and I'll warm it up."

"Okay," Daisy replied. Then she went outside. Of course Pip ate her soup and all of her almonds and Pip's favorite, CHEESE!

When everyone came back Daisy gasped, "My food!"

"PIP!" his mother cried, "Why did you eat Daisy's food?"

"I was hungry," said Pip.

"You're in big trouble young man!" said his mom. And of course Daisy buried her small face in her mom's fur.

"It's all right, baby, "Daisy's mom said stroking her daughter's fur, "You're all right."

"As for you," said Pip's mom, "Go to your room."

"Okay," said Pip, and he went straight to bed.

THE END.
