AMOUSE AND WIND

 

A mouse went out in his boat, but there was no

wind.

The boat did not move.

“Wind!” shouted the mouse.

“Come down and blow my boat across the lake!”

“Here I am,” said the west wind.

The west wind blew and blew.

The mouse and the boat went up in the air…and

landed on the roof of a house.

“Wind!” shouted the mouse.

“Come down and blow my boat off this house!”

“Here I am,” said the east wind.

The east wind blew and blew.

The mouse and the boat and the house went up

in the air…and landed on the top of a tree

.“Wind!” shouted the mouse.

“Come down and blow my boat off this house and

off this tree!”

“Here I am,” said the south wind.

The south wind blew and blew.

The mouse and the boat and the house and the

tree went up in the air…and landed on the top of

a mountain.

“Wind!” shThe north wind blew and blew.

The mouse and the boat and the house and the

tree and the mountain went up in the air…and

came down into the lake.

The mountain sank and became an island.

The tree landed on the island and burst into

bloom.

The house landed next to the tree.

A lady looked out of a window in the house and

said, “What a nice place to live!”

And the mouse just sailed away.
