The Midnight Mouse

Once apon a time there was a family that lived in Staunton Street Tennant Creek. The mothers name was Tracy and the fathers name was Peter. Tracy and Peter had five beautiful children. Fern, James, Rosie, Liam and Lilly.

Tracy and Peter decided to get the children to help them grow vegetables in their garden.Fern, James, Rosie and Liam help to plant tomatos. Every day they would get sun light and water and they grew into beautiful big red tomatoes.

Sadly there was one problem. It was a tricky little mouse called the midnight mouse who would sneak out why the family slept and bite holes in the tomatoes.

When the Henwoods left Tennant Creek and moved to Jamestown the little midnight mouse was sad. So was their friend Sue Green.

The midnight mouse had a great plan but new he needed some help.He asked the chook Gail if she could help but Gail said no.He asked the budgies if they could help but they said no.He asked the cat next door if it could help but she said no. No- one knew the way to Sue Greens house. What could he do?

One day when he had nearly given up hope, Peter came to visit his old house and show the new owners how to work the airconditioner. Why everyone was busy Midnight mouse snuck into Peters car. Imagine his surprise when he heard Peter say that it was very cold in Jamestown. Oh no thought Midnight mouse now what will I do, I really dont like the cold. He was stuck in the car and very frightened where Peter was going. Not to cold Jamestown I hope.

To his utter amazement Peter stopped at a house and a lady came out to tell Peter to come and have a coffee. Yes !Yes ! It was Sue Greens house. Quickly he jumped out of the car and ran around to the back of the house to hide untill it was safe to come out.

When Sue had gone to bed the Midnight mouse came out to explore and guess what he found to eat. Sue's big red fat juicy tomatoes.The End........Thank you Henwoods for sharing your mouse but most of all your family, love and unconditional support. I love you all heaps and miss you every day
