Milo the Mouse and the Great Grocery Adventure
Large text for little eyes.
Milo the Mouse was not like other mice. While his friends slept peacefully in their cozy hole under the bakery, Milo loved exploring, especially when the world was quiet and full of crumbs.
One evening, he followed the delicious smell of cheddar that drifted from the grocery store next door.
“I’ll just take a tiny peek,” he squeaked, twitching his whiskers.
But just as he climbed onto a shiny metal shelf, a loud WHOOSH! startled him; someone was sweeping the floor!
In a hurry, Milo dove for cover… right into a big shopping bag full of apples!
Before he could squeak “Uh-oh,” the bag was lifted and carried away.
The Grocery Store Wonderland
When the bag finally opened, Milo peeked out and gasped. He was surrounded by rows of colorful boxes, towers of fruit, and endless shelves of snacks!
“Whoa… this must be food paradise!” he whispered.
He tiptoed past cereal boxes that looked like skyscrapers, climbed a pasta mountain, and even slid down a butter ramp into a pile of marshmallows.
“This is better than cheese heaven!”
But not everything was easy. When Milo tried to nibble a cracker sample, a big shadow loomed overhead: the store manager!
“What’s that squeaking sound?” the man muttered.
Milo froze, then scurried into a basket of oranges, trying not to sneeze. “Note to self,” he whispered. “Oranges are not good hiding spots!”
Chaos in Aisle Five
Milo couldn’t help himself; there was just too much to see!
He ran across the bread aisle, leaving little paw prints in the flour, then leapt into a cereal box labeled “Mega Crunch!”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t empty. The next moment, CRASH! went the box as it toppled off the shelf and spilled everywhere.
A kid pointed, laughing. “Mom! There’s a mouse in the cornflakes!”
The whole store went wild; shoppers gasping, the manager waving a broom, and Milo zigzagging between rolling apples.
He darted under a cart, scampered over spilled milk (literally), and slid right into… the cheese section.
Milo’s eyes widened. “So much cheese! Maybe getting lost isn’t so bad!”
The Cheesy Escape
Milo stuffed a crumb of cheddar into his mouth and began to plan his escape.
He noticed a row of shopping bags near the counter. If he could sneak into one, he might hitch a ride back home!
With a heroic squeak, he dashed across the shiny floor, dodging mop swishes and bouncing grapes.
“Almost there…”
Just as the manager turned his back, Milo leapt into a bag filled with groceries, and this time, he stayed perfectly still.
An hour later, he was back near the bakery, peeking out of the bag with a victorious grin.
Milo sighed happily. “That was one wild shopping trip!”
That night, as he munched on his cheese crumb, he chuckled, “Next time, I’ll make a list before I go shopping!”
The End !
