Cheese Run
by Lisa Malone
You think you’ve calculated the distance, height and speed needed to
propel
yourself across the room to the cheese. You
nudge
the items into position, then ready, set, go! You’re flying through the air. Then you remember, you’re a mouse, you can’t do maths. Suddenly, instead of flying, you find yourself falling,
plummeting
towards the ground. But Cat has seen you and comes to
intercept.
You twist in mid-air and land
splat
on the Cat’s back. Cat panics and starts running in circles, attempting to throw you off, you
cling
on
for dear life.
Smack, Cat runs into the table and plates start falling. You
dodge
out of the way, but Cat isn’t so lucky and lies there,
dazed
under a pile of broken plates. The cheese rolls and lands by your feet. You grab the cheese and scurry back to your mouse hole as fast as you can.
Safe, you have successfully defeated Cat and you have gained the cheese!
