I asked mum if we could go to gran dad Dave ́s house; she said yes, I whispered underneath my breath YAY. I was so pleased. Can we go now please mum; I love going to gran dad Dave house is awesome his fruit is always so ripe. Ok I guess so ̈ mum replied. Come on then let's go.

We arrived, come on out of the car James; said (mum). We opened the creaky old door, I couldn't wait until I saw gran dad Dave. Mum and I couldn't see him. We looked at each other and we were scared for a moment but mum and I could faintly hear his voice it echoed across the room. Gran dad called out, stay low and don't ́t say a word¨ we went over to him but not usual walking we had to crawl. We saw him he was hiding behind a chair and still in his pjs, it was odd, but the weird thing was it was 12:36.

What are you doing asked (mum). Over there look said grandad Dave. Its a mouse what's so scary about that said James. Yeah I suppose so, but I ́ve already set up a box with a pencil holding it up said grandad Dave. Oh no that's not good said (mum). Yes it is I want it out said gran dad Dave. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he is about to go in…

He is in, grandad Dave jumped with delight he was so happy but he thought to himself; what do I do now. He went down stairs with the innocent little mouse, so we followed…
Grandad Dave put the mouse onto the dusty table, it smelt very old. He went upstairs to get some bread for the mouse and broke it up into little pieces then after he had apart he poured some fresh water from the tap onto a can lid. Grandad Dave walked slowly back down he placed the crumbs and water down on the table. What are you doing asked (mum). I’m giving the mouse some food I think he's hungry. So he gave the mouse some crumbs but the mouse chucked the crumb back it was odd so he lifted the box.


Dave took the piece of bread and placed it into his mouth showing the mouse that the crumb was delicious, the mouse looked at grandad Dave. Dave gave ( hah alliteration ) the mouse the crumb, even though he swallowed it but he tricked the mouse with a tiny bit of magic. The mouse started to eat a bit of cheese, then he thought the the mouse would be ok. He opened the window I could see big red eyes then it screeched then it pounced on the window he shut the window on the cats face he felt sorry for a moment but luckily the mouse was ok but if grandad left him the mouse outside he would be in danger.


I asked mum if we could stay; she said yes ok only tonight not tomorrow night ok kapish but you have to ask grandad Dave ok yes i’ll go sk him now I ran down stairs he wasn’t there but I saw him he was sitting in the chair he looked sad, I couldn’t see the mouse either. What happened grandad I said. The mouse ran off with the bread, I was trying to pat him but he just ran away.


I went to bed it was late so I was going to say good night to grandad but he was fake sleeping for the mouse, there was crumbs on his robe. I peeked over his shoulder the mouse was there eating the crumbs he looked at the mouse he was eating the crumbs and watching TV. I sneaked back to bed, mum was already asleep. I thought I was dreaming but I pinched myself and I woke up. I got out of bed and creeped into the lounge the tv was still on and the mouse and grandad were snuggled up together. The TV was still on so I turned it off. Then I went back to bed. That thought of grandad Dave and the mouse all snuggled up just made my heart melt it was so sweet.
