Once there was a mouse in it’s hole. The mouse was just coming out of the hole and wanted
to see where a loud noise was coming from. The mouse saw lots of peanuts on the ground
and went up to eat them. The mouse was so surprised that he saw lots and lots of peanuts. Then
the mouse went to lie on the peanuts and ate some of them. The mouse took the rest of the
peanuts back to his hole and put the peanuts on his bed. The mouse had nowhere to sleep.

There were so many peanuts that the mouse had to dig in another hole just for the peanuts. The
mouse was so tried, he put all the peanuts in the new food hole. Then the mouse went back to
sleep. The mouse lived happily ever after with all his peanuts.
