Have you ever thought about what fiction is? Probably, such a question may seem surprising: and so everything is clear. Every person throughout his life has to repeatedly create the works he needs for specific purposes - statements, autobiographies, dictations - using not gypsum or clay, not musical notes, not paints, but just a word. At the same time, almost every person will be very surprised if he is told that he thereby created a work of fiction, which is very different from visual art, music and sculpture making. However, everyone understands that a student's essay or dictation is fundamentally different from novels, short stories, news that are created by professional writers. In the works of professionals there is the most important difference - excogitation. But, oddly enough, in a school literature course, you donโt realize the full power of fiction. So using our website in your free time discover fiction for yourself. The Mouse that wanted Cheese by Austyn Scruggs (books for 8th graders TXT) ๐

Book online ยซThe Mouse that wanted Cheese by Austyn Scruggs (books for 8th graders TXT) ๐ยป. Author Austyn Scruggs
Hello there. My name is Mr. Mouse and I love kids. I really love cheese too. Do you have any cheese. Well, okay. I don't like cats and people who try to hit me. I do like it when the just give me cheese. Did you know my family. I do. My Mom, Dad, and my brother ran away because they couldn't find food. Well today I am going to change that.
I started my march to the piece of cheese that lie up on the counter. I go forward 123 steps. I think. I looked around and saw a broom leaning to the counter. I climbed that mountain high broom. I got to the top and saw a better view of the cheese.(Boom) Mr. Cat jumped in front of me.
Mr. Mouse, Mr. Mouse,
What do I see ?
You in my house,
Do you really want that cheese ?
I don't think you'll get it because I won't let you.
I looked around him trying to find a spot where I can slip past him. He just stared at me. When I moved his claws came out. I saw a small space between the wall and a spoon stand. I ran and he hissed. I jumped up on a spoon, and it flung me through the air. Mr. Cat jumped and missed my by a tail. I landed in a empty bowl. I fell out and ran. He caught up to me. He jumped and I stopped on the edge of the counter. I looked up and he flew like a bird without wings over me. I looked down and he landed in a trash can. He was stuck.
I looked up from the trash can and saw the cheese. It was the closest I have been to it in a long time. I took off. I gave the cheese a big hug. I put on a bib. Picked up a tooth pick. Off I went to cutting the cheese. When I was done with it my stomach was as big as a cotton ball. I was full for a long time.
I started going home when I heard a mourn. I looked and saw Mr. Cat. He was crying. I went to the cabinet, and opened it. I pushed the cat food off the shelf. I jumped off, and slid the cat food to the edge and poured it on the floor. Then I went to the sink picked up a cup and filled it up with water. I carried it down the broom, and set it near the food. I picked up a pencil, and went to the back of the trash can. I shoved the pencil between it. It fell and the cat came out. He turned, smiled, and said,
" Mr. Mouse, Mr. Mouse,
What do I see ?
You in my house,
You can always have the cheese."
