Mickey, Rickie and the Cheese

By the Hartwell Library Creative Kids

The day that the cheese was stolen was the worst day ever. The cheese in question belonged to Mickey, who was a timid old man. Mickey lived in a small apartment in Downtown Atlanta. When he moved in, back in July of 2207, he was the only purple person in the building, but as time went by, more and more purples, as they preferred to be called, moved in.

Mickey lived a simple life, and did not need a lot, but he had a few possessions that were very important to him. The strangest among these items was a large piece of old, moldy sliced cheese. No one knows why he loves it, but he does.

Joe Mickey, who is as ugly as a rat, and VERY clever, wanted that piece of cheese. So, he pretended to be Mickey’s friend. He came over to play video games and even brought cupcakes once! The whole time he was acting like Mickey’s friend, Joe Mickey was plotting to steal his cheese. One day, while he was visiting, he just put the cheese in his back pack and walked out with it.

Mickey was very upset about his cheese, but even more upset about being betrayed by his friend. That is why this was the worst day EVER!

Mickey called his twin sister, Rickie, and asked for her help. She had a great plan to get even with Joe Mickey. She called him up and invited him to a tea party. Joe Mickey was very excited, because he thought this might be like a date. What a surprise when he got there and Mickey and Rickie confronted him and made him give back the cheese.

They had also called the police and Joe Mickey was arrested and taken to jail. Mickey was sad because he had been tricked, but he was glad to get his cheese back. It’s nice to have a smart sister!

The end.

That story had a different twist. What do you think?
