Short Story for Kids written by: Ulica Tizaber.
Once upon a time, there was a mouse who was a mouse and a pedestrian. He was living in a farm, because was a wood mouse, and sometimes made trips to the city.
Behaving as a mouse, he was running over the floor of the barn really fast, smelling everything similar to cheese.
He was very happy being a mouse, but it also had disadvantages, because any time a cat pursued him, the mouse was so nervous that walked everywhere, kicking his head on the walls, getting bumps. But, as he was a prudent observer, he met a cat few times, only at lapses of concentration.
His side as pedestrian was a bit more complicated, only had to use it when was out to the city.
He liked being a pedestrian, but required more concentration and mental and physical effort.
The days he was going to a trip, ended up very tired and sleepy. He wore a hat to be a pedestrian, and tied up his tail in order not to drag it, getting dirt. And his walking way was as any other pedestrian.
Stopped at the zebra crossing, making sure the traffic light was green for pedestrians, and then looked to one side and then to the other of the street. If there was no car coming, she crossed the street with lightness for not having to run in the middle of the way.
This wood mouse was a very smart city pedestrian, because knew how to behave suitably at any situation. This quality made him very special, so at the farm, he was named traffic education teacher of all the animals. The barn was the place designated to theoretical lessons, and the city was the place to do practical lessons.
They all trusted in him to go out on a trip. Thanks to his experience, opened a local in the city dedicated to “How to be an expert on traffic education?”.
He was successful all around the world, and, nowadays, the pedestrian mouse manages the company, and is the most enterprising mouse ever seen.
