A Speedy Maus

 

A mouse named Maus was targeting a piece of cheese in the kitchen. He would grab it when the night came. Along that day, Maus had observed the situation in the kitchen when some people had their activities there. He focused on the cheese that was placed in the corner. “It must be delicious. Aaaa…I’m hungry, but I have to wait until the night comes and everyone goes to bed”, he thought. He waited and waited until the night came.

When everyone slept, Maus got out from his hideout. He walked sneakily to the kitchen. He had to be careful to take the cheese without getting caught. Although Maus was confident in his speed, he didn’t run in a hurry. When Maus almost reached it, suddenly a footstep came closer. He hid behind a shelf and stood still while he was waiting for the footstep gone. The truth was, Maus didn’t realize that he was already noticed by the person who entered the kitchen.

After some time, the footstep walked away. Maus didn’t hear it anymore. Slowly, he began to reach the cheese. When he was there and ready to eat the tasty cheese, suddenly there was a sound ‘Plaaaaakkkk’! and he felt hurt on his body.  He ran at once and left the beautiful cheese. Although he regretted because he failed to get the cheese, at least he successfully escaped from the cheese guard.
