  4. If you ever had to be a mouse. Going to school in a mouse school. Sitting in a mouse desk with your mouse friends. You wouldn’t want to be Timmy the Mouse, because Timmy the Mouse had an extra long tail.

  5. You see having an extra long tail when you were a mouse meant you were different and being different didn’t make it easy to make friends. Timmy’s only friend in the whole world happened to be a lazy house cat that shared the shame people as him.

  6. Timmy and Sammy D. Feline had been friends since as long as Timmy could remember. Their people owned a great big house but in that great big house the only critters were Sammy and Timmy.

  7. At school all of Timmy’s classmates made fun of him just because he was different. His schoolmates did all kinds of mean things to Timmy and his tail! They yanked it and they cranked it! They stuck the tip in a can of paint and than sealed it! They even glued it to the floor while Timmy sat in his seat.

  8. Timmy tried hard not to let all the teasing get to him. Sammy told him every night before he helped Timmy with his homework that someday everyone else would realize that different doesn’t mean wrong. Different just means different. “After all” Sammy said, “if we were all the same it would purrrrrrfectly boring.”

  9. One windy day on the playground (which was really a dumpster but of course a dumpster is playground for mice) a few of Timmy’s classmates were daring each other to walk along the rim of a big empty can.

  10. Suddenly a gust of wind came rushing down from the sky and blew Timmy’s classmate right off the rim and into the bottom of the can! The walls were slick and it was starting to rain… the little mouse could not get out!

  11. Timmy heard the squeaking scream coming from the dumpster and he went a running just as fast as he could!

  12. Timmy cried out to the other mice, “help me up on the rim!” Timmy held onto the side and lowered his tail down to the bottom of the can. “Grab onto my tail!” yelled Timmy.

  13. Timmy gave his tail a great big TUG and he and his classmate came flying down off the can. “You and your tail saved me!” Yelled Timmy’s classmate right before giving him a great big hug.

  14. For the rest of the day not a single one of Timmy’s classmates said a thing about his tail. And that night after Sammy had tucked him into bed, he patted little Timmy and said “I sure am proud of you little mouse.”
