Chapter 1: Lilly’s Mouse House in the Woods
In the heart of a huge and bright green forest, nestled among swaying trees and rustling leaves, lived a tiny, enterprising mouse named Lilly. Lilly’s house was unlike any other in the forest. She created it with great care and creativity, using a combination of soft leaves and sturdy branches to build a cozy little dwelling that she called her own.
Every morning, when the golden rays of the sun broke through the crowns of the trees overhead, Lilly came out of her leafy house, her mustache twitching with anticipation of the day ahead. She ran around greeting her friends-chatty blue jays, studious ants, and playful squirrels-who frequented her humble abode. Lilly appreciated the company of her friends and loved nothing more than sharing stories and laughing under the gentle rays of the sun.
One of Lilly’s favorite pastimes was climbing the tallest trees in the forest. Thanks to her nimble paws and fearless spirit, she climbed to dizzying heights, her tiny heart filled with delight when she looked at the green expanses below. From her vantage point among the foliage, Lilly felt like the queen of the forest, surveying her domain with a sense of wonder and awe.
Despite her adventurous nature, there was one thing that Lilly the mouse couldn’t stand- rainy days. The patter of raindrops on the leaves and the distant rumble of thunder made her uneasy. On such days, Lilly would retreat to the safety of her leafy cottage, curl up in a cozy corner and listen to the soothing patter of rain on the roof. She waited patiently for the sun to return, longing for its warm rays to dispel the gloom.
Chapter 2: The beginning of the morning rain
The first rays of dawn colored the sky in pink and gold tones, Lilly the mouse woke up to the gentle chirping of birds outside the window of her cozy house. She took a delicious bite of cheese, savoring its pungent taste before venturing out to meet the new day. Bouncing, she ran to the edge of the forest, eager to bask in the warm embrace of the morning sun.
The forest was filled with a symphony of nature – the rustle of leaves, the melodious trills of songbirds and the distant chatter of forest dwellers going about their daily business. Lilly enjoyed the sights and sounds around her, feeling pure joy spreading in her tiny heart.
But as soon as she found the perfect place to soak up the sun, a sudden gust of wind ruffled her fur, and dark clouds quickly gathered in the sky. The air became heavy, foreshadowing rain, and after a few moments large drops began to fall from the sky, flooding the forest with a real flood.
Lilly’s mustache quivered in surprise, and she realized that she needed to quickly find shelter. Although her little house wasn’t that far away, Lilly was determined not to run home at the first sign of rain. Instead, she looked around and noticed the perfect hiding place -a huge mushroom with a wide and sturdy cap standing nearby.
In a burst of determination, Lilly rushed to the mushroom, her heart pounding with every drop of rain that fell on her fur. When she reached the shelter under the tall mushroom cap, she breathed a sigh of relief. Peering out from under the mushroom, she watched the rain draw shimmering patterns on the forest floor, turning the once familiar landscape into a sparkling tapestry of silver and greenery.
