La famille Rat
- Quand on est un gros père Rat, il faut faire manger toute sa petite famille. On cherche dans les poubelles et dans les fossés, mais attention aux graines empoisonnées! Personne ne nous aime. Pourtant, nous, nous aimons tous les rats!
Un matin, j'ai découvert un grenier rempli de blé jusqu'au plafond. J'ai amené toute ma petite famille et, depuis, nous habitons dans notre nourriture! C'est pratique: quand on a faim, on grignote un bout de notre maison!
