Read the story once.  \nThe Mouse family lived in a cozy little hole behind the Smiths’kitchen cabinet. Mr. and Mrs. Mouse, along with their three little mice, loved their home.

It was warm in the winter, cool in the summer and always full of delicious smells.  \nEvery evening after the Smith family went to bed, themice scurried out to explore. Mr. Mouse loved the kitchen best. Crumbs were easy to find, and sometimes there was even a bit of cheese left on the counter.“This house is perfect!” said Mr. Mouse, nibbling on a cracker one night.  \nThe little mice loved the playroom. They squeaked with excitement as they slid down toy ramps and hid inside the dollhouse.“The Smith kids have the best toys,” said one of the young mice.  \nEven Mrs. Mouse had her favorite spot—the laundry room.“The pile of soft towels is so cozy,” she said, curling up for a nap one evening.“It’s like a fluffy bed!”  \nOne day, Mr. Smith spotted the mice near the pantry.“Oh no! We have mice!” he said, and he set out a few traps. Thankfully, the Mouse family was clever. They avoided the traps and kept living their happy little lives behind the cabinet.  \nFor the little Mouse family, the Smiths’ house wasn’t just a place to live. It was full of adventure, food and fun. The Mouse family couldn’t imagine a better home.  \n2. Read the story a second time.
