Larry Mouse part 4
The weeks went by and nothing happened. No fun games of hide-n-seek with Pumpkin and Bud. No tall tales of daring-do on the high seas, adventures of the great pirate Gray Beard Mouse. The house was now dark and lonely and very quite. Sitting in the big round window Larry tried to convince himself that he was still happy. It wasn’t working Larry gave up and went back into his walls, very sad.
One day, a lovely day bright and sunny with a slight breeze, giant yellow monsters appeared in the front yard. Belching black smoke and making the most horrendous noise, worse than Pumpkin or Bud had ever made.
Larry stared out the large round window in the attic in total disbelieve at the yellow monsters. The monsters had the word ‘CAT’ on their sides, that couldn’t be good, and they had big people inside them. He wondered what they did. While he watched the monsters started to move. Slow and clumsy at first they moved. Loud crashing noise as they destroyed the lovely old stone wall around the garden and to Larry’s shock they were coming straight at the house!
Larry thought to himself maybe this is what a “highway” is. If so Larry didn’t think they were such a great idea.
The first giant yellow monster hit the house so hard Larry was knocked out of the round window. The house shook and rattled…
