Larry and Berry are in the house

An original story by Gabriela Franco and Rafaela Folster

Larry is an adventurous and playful mouse that lives on a hole in the wall of a Brazilian family’s house.

The family doesn’t know about him.

However, Berry, their pet, does.

Berry is a a shy, but friendly cat.

Larry and Berry met when Larry was about to steal Berry’s cheese, they became really close friends after that.

So now, every night they go on adventures to steal food and have a lot of fun together.

One night, Berry caught Larry gnawing the father’s clothes and started to laugh a lot.

“What are you laughing about, Berry?” said Larry “I just remembered about a tongue twister that the kids always do” said Berry “Teach me, please! I want to know it!” said Larry

“It is in Portuguese” the cat said while he couldn’t stop laugh about it.

“Please please please” the mouse insisted.

Berry knew that his friend wouldn’t stop asking for it, so he said “Ok, I’m going to teach you, here is it: O RATO ROEU A ROUPA DO REI DE ROMA

O RATO ROEU …

A ro-ooupa

“rato” it’s Portuguese for mouse, “roeu” it’s gnawed, “roupa” it’s clothes and “rei de Roma” it’s king of Rome” the cat explained while the mouse was still trying to repeat it.

After he ran away back to his hole, the family discovered about the ripped clothes and started to think what they were going to do.

Larry woke up to a scream in the next day and he got a bit confused when he saw two humans staring at him, then he figured out that he slept on the pile of ripped clothes.

Right after the cat discovered what the family was planning, he ran to the mouse to tell him that they were going to put a mousetrap on Larry’s hole.

?

Larry and Berry got scared, so they decided to do something to change the family’s mind.

while Berry tried to show to his owners that the mouse was actually a good friend.

Larry decided that he was going to sew all the clothes that he ripped

Larry stayed a couple of nights sewing all the clothes

Berry was trying to make the family forget about the mousetrap.

They couldn’t believe it when they saw the mouse standing on a pile of sewn clothes.

When Larry finished everything, Berry helped him taking all the clothes to somewhere that was going to catch the family’s attention.

They accepted Larry’s apology and said that he was welcome on their house, as soon as he didn’t do that again.
