The Hungry Mouse

There once was a mouse that had not eaten in days. He had become really thin. After a lot of searching,
the mouse found a basket full of corn.

There was a tiny hole in the basket and he squeezed through. So, he crept into the basket and ate his fill
of corn.

However, he did not stop eating even when he was full. The mouse ate more and more.

Now, the mouse had grown larger from all that food and could no longer fit through the hole to get out.
He was worried and wondered how to escape.

A rat that was passing by heard the mouse and told him that he had to wait until he had grown thin
again in order to get out. The mouse regretted being greedy and overeating.
