If you give a mouse a cookie,

he's going to ask for a glass of milk.

When you give him milk,

he'll probably ask you for a straw.

When he's finished, he'll ask for a napkin.

Then he'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache.

When he looks into the mirror,

he might notice his hair needs a trim.

So he'll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.

When he's finished giving himself a trim, he'll want a broom to sweep up.

He'll start sweeping.

He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.

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 him with a blanket and a pillow.

He'll crawl in, make himself comfortable and fluff the pillow a few times.

He'll probably ask you to read him a story.

So you'll read to him from one of your books, and he'll ask to see the pictures.
