Purple, green, yellow and orange gummy bears were falling down from the sky like hail in a viscous hail storm. I found my self dodging left then right then left again, I was jumping through the air and bending in every direction just to avoid getting hit! This was by far one the scariest days of my little mouse life. Finally I found refuge in an old sneaker forever lost in the lost-n-found.  After I allowed my heart to come down I poked my little furry head out the toe to see a squishy sandwich.

                As my heart jumped exuberantly as if I had found gold, I went to reach for the sandwich!  It was filled with colorful gummy bears, my mouth watered as I went out for it. Then suddenly, an eagle bigger than my body could ever get, swept down and grabbed the sandwich! What did I do to deserve such a horrible day?

                I was happy that the eagle picked the sandwich over little me.  My day was already going horribly, so I figured with my luck the eagle would come back for me.  I began to run frantically back home.  When I finally got back to the crack in the wall that I had been living in I smelled something funny.  I then realized it was mouse poison.  All the sudden a explosion of the smell burst into my face.  I was able to run out in time.  I couldn’t imagine a worse day!

But it just got worse… The cowboy who lived in the house I lived in came home from his job on the dude ranch. He always came home smelling of cow manure and sweat. It was disgusting!  He took off his boots and poured sand onto the floor and a bunch of it got into my home. I’m just a mouse, I thought, how am I supposed to sweep up all this sand? I grabbed my little mouse broom and began to sweep. It was taking forever to sweep it up. 

                I soon decided it was hopeless and left. With poison and sand in my little mouse home I figured it was better to search for somewhere new to live. I mean if a freakin’ sponge can live under the sea in a pineapple I should be able to find somewhere nice to call my home! I went out into the giant world of which I knew very little. I saw in the distance a beautiful poster with all the colors you could imagine and more! It was so gorgeous! On the poster it read “SPAIN”. I knew where I wanted to live.
