Marilyn.Bruce.Prue and i were in the kitchen.Cards we were playing.
When all of a sudden a small rustling noise was heeded.
"Hush.Hush"Said Prue."I think i hear a mouse praying".
Bruce immediately lifted his feet."Where is it?"He pleaded.
"It seems to be coming from the welsh-dresser".Said the Poet.
Marilyn explored the area."It's not a mouse,it's a rat".She said.
"We have equipment to catch a mouse"Said Prue."But not a rat,would'nt you know it".
"It's dark in that corner"Said the poet."We'll find it or my names not Fred".
THe Poet and Marilyn with a trouble light on a cord,led the way.
"Only the brave go forewards".Marilyn Bravely stated.
But the Poet was clumsy,tripped and collided with Marilyn,halting all attempts to enter the flay.
