Whiskers Acts Fast

Whiskers was a white mouse who lived in a house under a tree.

One morning, there was a soft whisper outside. "Whoo. Whoo."

Whispers peeked outside and saw the wind. "Is it safe to be outside?" he said.

He ran outside on a whim. When he was outside, he got a whiff of some nuts.

Whiskers ran after the smell. As he ran, there was a loud whack!

He jumped and gave a whimper. Then he saw a wheel fall from a cart.

"Whoosh!" went the wind. Whiskers kept running. He was close to the smell.

He took a quick glance and saw it - nuts sitting on a rock. But next to the nuts stood a cat!

Whiskers froze. It was a trap. His nose twitched. He had to act fast. He ran back to the cart.

He gave the cart a whack. The wheel on the other side of the cart rolled off and came close to the cat.

The cat ran off. Whiskers grabbed the nuts and ran home.

"That was close!" he said with a big smile.
