     Peek-A-Boo the Mouse

     There was a wee gray mouse who lived in a 

big house full of places he could hide. When 

opportunities came about he would make 

people shout and that made his day.In this big 

and wonderful house lived a family of eight. 

Momma,Daddy,Jeremy,Kathleen,Lex the cat 

and Bear the dog.Nanna and Papa lived there 

as well.

     The house was filled with so much love and 

of course a wee mouse named Peek-A-Boo. 

The house was never quiet. Peek-A-Boo would 

keep everyone on their toes. No matter where 

everyone went there was always a chance 

Peek-A-Boo would appear unexpectedly. 

Momma would do the laundry and Peek-A-Boo 

would appear in the basket of clothes.

     Peek-A-Boo did not always realize how 

much he frightened everyone. All he wanted to 

do was have fun and make people laugh. 

Instead of laughing out loud people would 

shriek rather loudly waving their arms in the 

air. Sometimes they would run away. Other 

times they would jump high up on a chair. 

Peek-A-Boo could not help doing what he does 

naturally as a wee mouse in a large house.

     If only everyone could be friends with 

Peek-A-Boo. Daddy would sit on the big red 

couch watching his favorite show on television. 

Everything would be perfect and then all of a 

sudden out of the blue slithered Peek-A-Boo. 

He went along the wall and under the couch. 

Daddy could feel his feet being tickled. As he 

looked at his feet there was Peek-A-Boo. 

Daddy squealed words of surprise.

     Peek-A-Boo disappeared quickly to his safe 

place. When daddy would scream the house 

felt like it was shaking. He had quite a large 

and very loud voice. The children were 

different. Curiosity was always in their minds. 

They felt that they were invincible when it 

came to little animals that creep out from 

anywhere when you least expect them. Almost 

every time Jeremy and Kathleen would be 

frightened by Peek-A-Boo's appearance.

     It never failed that Peek-A-Boo would 

shock their world no matter what. You would 

think that Peek-A-Boo could be captured and 

placed in a cage. He could be kept as a family 

pet. Lex the cat thought differently. It was a 

cat's nature to catch any mouse but Peek-A-

Boo made that rule different. The moment Lex 

would rest in his comfortable bed Peek-A-Boo 

would creep up close and let out a squeak. Lex 

would jump a foot high every time.

     One day Lex will capture that Peek-A-Boo 

and use him for his own personal play toy. 

Until then Peek-A-Boo would successfully scare 

Lex. Now Bear the dog was a big, strong and 

strapping pet of the house. He was the 

protector of everyone. Unfortunately Peek-A-

Boo held the title of 'head of the household'. 

Bear seemed to be unafraid of anything but 

this was not so.

     Peek-A-Boo would creep up behind Bear 

and nibble on his furry tail. The yelp from Bear 

was ear piercing. Everyone would come 

running to the rescue. Bear would be hugged, 

patted and reassured that everything would be 

alright. Soon everyone was back to normal. 

Nanna would be walking around the house 

doing little chores to help out mommy and 

daddy. Nanna was a tiny woman who wouldn't 

say a whole lot.

     She was there in the house to live and love 

life until she turned 200 years old according to 

the grandchildren. Peek-A-Boo would treat 

nanna with gentleness. Nanna would make a 

coffee and settle into the reading room full of 

windows, furniture and plenty of books. This 

was the place for her to relax. Peek-A-Boo 

would sit on the very chair that Nana chose to 

read in. Just as she went to sit down there sat 

Peek-A-Boo.
