If you give a mouse
a cookie, he is going to ask
for a glass of milk.
When you give him
the milk he'll probably ask you
for a straw. When he is finished he'll ask for a napkin.
Then he'll want to
look in a mirror to make sure
he doesn't have a milk
mustache.
When he looks into
the mirror he might notice his
hair needs a trim.
So he'll probably
ask for a pair of nail
scissors. When he's finished
giving himself a trim, he'll
want a broom to sweep up. He'll
start sweeping.
He might get carried
away and sweep every room in
the house. He may even end up
washing the floors as well
When he is done
he'll probably want to take a
nap.
You'll have to fix
up a little box for him with a
blanket and a pillow.
He'll crawl in, make
himself comfortable and fluff
the pillow a few times. He'll
probably ask you to read him a story.
So you'll read to
him from one of your books and
he'll ask to see the pictures. When
he looks at the pictures, he'll get so excited he'll want to draw one of his
own. He'll ask for paper and crayons.
He'll draw a
picture. When the picture is finished,
he'll want to sign his name with a pen.
Then he'll want to
hang his picture on your
refrigerator. Which means he'll
need Scotch tape.
He'll hang up his
drawing and stand back to look
at it. Looking at the
refrigerator will remind him
that he's thirsty. So........
He'll ask for a
glass of milk. And chances are
if he asks for a glass of milk
he's going to want a cookie to
go with it.
The End
