An Elizabeth Miller story 

“Aunt Tessy Hears A Squeak In The Middle Of The Night

A Mouse Mystery”

Once upon a time the Millers were at the cabin. One night Aunt Tessy heard a squeak in the middle of the night. She yelled “Matt! Matt! Matt! Matt! Matt! I think there is a mouse in the cabin! I just heard a squeak and I think it was a mouse. ” Matt got up and looked around but  he couldn’t find the mouse though. Tessy and Matt set sticky traps and they went back to sleep.

The next night Aunt Tessy heard two squeaks in the middle of the night. This time Matt heard it too. They took flashlights and they walked around the cabin trying to find the mouse. They looked in the kitchen because that was where Tessy heard it originally. They couldn’t find the mouse still though. This time Matt and Tessy set snap traps and they went back to sleep.

The next night Aunt Tessy heard three squeaks in the middle of the night. This time Matt and Elizabeth heard it too. They told themselves “All right, there must be a mouse around here somewhere. ” Elizabeth asked “Should we go lay back down and look in the morning? I am getting very sleepy. It is 2:30. ” Matt said “You can but I am going to keep looking. ”

“Dolly is scared of mice and I can hear her yelling in the living room. ” Elizabeth said “Goodnight Matt. ” Matt is one of Elizabeth’s uncles by the way. As he was walked towards the kitchen, he heard squeak…….. squeak…….. squeak….. squeak… squeak.. squeak.. squeak. squeak squeak squeak. A mouse was chewing on the telephone wire.

Matt and Tessy had a rough stay at the cabin. They got almost no sleep because of 1 silly mouse. Elizabeth even got woken up 1 night because of it. To Matt and Tessy, going to the cabin felt more like work and loss of sleep than fun. They lost their telephone at the cabin because the mouse chewed the wire. They went home over tired, crabby and stressed out.
