Hi. My name is Toby Taliaferro. I’m a puny little white mouse.

HI!

I was driving my old Model T under the boards. I was going to visit my grandma downstairs.

Then suddenly I stopped with a screech. Old Nann’r Puddin the cat was a few feet away from me. So I drove in a closet real quick. I waited a few seconds. Then I peeked out the door. The old cat was still there. I peeked out a few more times, but no luck. So I laid in the seat and dozed off.

While I was dreaming. I dreamed that I was walking down Mouse Blvd., when suddenly a red Porsche showed up. A strange voice inside said, “This baby’s yours!” I was so excited.that I drove off in it!

When I got on Monkey Lane, girls were swooning all around me. Then hippo handed me an electric guitar. I started singing “I’m a yankee doodle dandy, I’m a yankee do or die!” I sang like a rock star in my puny voice.

I was thinking of a famous rock star like Michael Jackson. I just kept singing and singing and everybody just kept clapping and clapping. I think I could do this all my life. I could earn enough money to buy a gourmet meal every time I eat. Man this sure is fun.

I mean by getting the spot light and everything. I asked the hippo if I could have the guitar, but the hippo said “No, that is my personal guitar.” I replied “I understand.” I was so disappointed.

Someone in the crowd suggested I put on a concert, but I didn’t think it was a good idea. Creeeeeak! Ahhhhh!

The cat got in the closet! So I cranked up the motor on my old Model T, and VAROOM, I was off.

The old cat started chasing me. I drove under the boards so the cat couldn’t catch me. Then I drove off on Giraffe St. and went back home. “That’s the last time I’m going to make an attempt to see my grandma unless she comes see me,” I said.
