gruffalo

A mouse walks in the deep dark wood. A fox saw the mouse and the mouse looked good. So, the fox asked the mouse, “where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come and have lunchin my underground house.” “It’s kind of you, Fox, but no –  I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo,” said the mouse.The fox replied, “A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”  “A gruffalo! Why, didn’t you know? He has terrible tusks, and terrible claws, and terrible teethin his terrible jaws.” said the mouse.“ Where are you meeting him?” the fox asked again.“Here, by these rocks, and his favourite food is…. roasted fox!” the mouse answered Roasted fox!! I better go now! Goodbye mouse!”and the fox ran as fast as the lightning. “Silly old fox Doesn’t he know there is no such thing as a gruffalo?” laughed the mouse.  Then, the mouse continued his journey through the deep dark wood. A snake saw the mouse and the mouse looked good. The hungry snake asked, “ Where are you going to, little brown mouse?  Come for a feast in my log pilehouse,”   “It’s kind of you, Snake, but no  –   I’m having a feast with a Gruffalo,” the clever mouse rejected.“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?” asked the curious snake.The mouse played his trick again, “A gruffalo! Why, didn’t you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black, he has purple prickles all over his back”.  The snake started to get scared, he asked, “ Where are you meeting him?”  “Here, by this lake and his favourite food is… scrambled snake,” replied the mouse.“Scrambled snake!! It’s time I hid!! Goodbye, little mouse,” and away the snake slid. The mouse couldn’t’ help but laugh hister
