要是你给老鼠吃饼干，会发生什么事情呢？——他会接着要一杯牛奶，再接着要吸管，要纸巾，然后还要一面镜子照照脸上有没有牛奶沫儿……

男孩原本坐在门前草地上吃着饼干，看着漫画，多悠闲自在啊！结果看见了从远处走来的小老鼠，男孩伸手递了块饼干给他，这下子，就像碰翻了多米诺骨牌一样，随着小老鼠一个又一个的请求，男孩忙得团团转！这么有趣的故事，难怪全世界的孩子们都这么喜爱它！

He may even end up washing the floors as well！When he' s done，he'll probably want to take a nap.

You'll have to fix up a little box for himwith a blanket and a pillow.He'll crawl in，make himself comfortable.He'll probably ask you to read him a story.

He'll draw a picture. When the picture is finished.

he'll want to sign his name with a pen.

Then he'll want to hang his picture on your refrigerator.

He'll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it.Looking at the refrigerator will remind him thathe's thirsty.

So…
