One Dark Night

By Lisa Wheeler

Illustrated by Ivan Bates

Each evening a wee little mouse and a wee little mole sit munching tiny sandwiches with tiny cheese. Meanwhile…a BIG GIANT BEAR paces in his BIG GIANT DEN. One dark night the mouse and the mole go for a walk through the forest. Meanwhile…the bear becomes hungry and growls, “I want something to eat, NOW!” The mouse and mole hear the loud noise, and they shake and their fur stands on end until they hear the bear say, “You’re late.” Then the three of them go together to a giant feast just as best friends should.
