Nichalas's mother wasn't gpoing to have filthy
little rodents leaving droppings
in her house
and grabbed a rolled up
newspaper and gave Nathan a good
whack that left the rodent
apparently dead.She picked up the mouse by its tail
and dropped it into
Nicolas's hands and told
her son to toss the rodent in the trash can behind the apartment
building.
So Nicolas trotted off and when the rodent began to squirm in his hands
he got an idea.
Some of his friends played with remote controlled sailboats
in the nearby lake
so Nicholas ran down to join his excited friends and showed
them the squeaking rodent.
Some geese nearby also waddled over and eyed
Nathan hungrily,honking
loudly to be fed.
The lead boy shooed the hungry geese back into the water
and soon the kids had Nathan trapped belowdecks of the
RC Pirate Ship the
Adventure Galley,complete with a crew of plastic skeleton
Halloween props dangling from the rigging
and Captain Van Steern,the Flying Dutchman
himself ( a toy model of course)
glowering at the
frightened mouse
