Tom and the Mouse

Tom had a little toy car. It was red. He loved to play with it. He played with it every day.

One day, Tom saw something moving in his toy car. He looked inside. He got a big surprise.

There was a little mouse inside the car! The little mouse looked very sad.

“Hello,” said Tom. “What’s wrong?”

“I’m lost,” said the little mouse.

“Where do you live?” asked Tom.

“I live in the big tree,” said the little mouse. “But I don’t know where it is.”

“I can help you,” said Tom.

“Oh, thank you!” said the little mouse.

Tom picked up his little car very carefully. He took it outside.

“Don’t worry,” said Tom. “I will take you to the big tree.”

Tom went over to the big tree in his backyard.

“Here is the big tree,” he said to the little mouse.

Tom put the car on the ground. The little mouse jumped out. He looked up at Tom.

“Thank you so much!” he said.

“I will come back tomorrow,” said Tom. “I will give you a ride in my car.”

“That will be lots of fun!” said the little mouse.

Tom and the little mouse became friends. They played together every day.
