要是你給老鼠吃餅干，會發(fā)生什么事情呢？——他會接著要一杯牛奶，再接著要吸管，要紙巾，然后還要一面鏡子照照臉上有沒有牛奶沫兒……

男孩原本坐在門前草地上吃著餅干，看著漫畫，多悠閑自在啊！結(jié)果看見了從遠(yuǎn)處走來的小老鼠，男孩伸手遞了塊餅干給他，這下子，就像碰翻了多米諾骨牌一樣，隨著小老鼠一個又一個的請求，男孩忙得團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)！這么有趣的故事，難怪全世界的孩子們都這么喜愛它！

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

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.

So you'll read to him from one of your books，and he'll ask to see the pictures.When he looks at the pictures，he'll want to draw one of his own.He'll ask for paper and crayons.

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…
