The Story of Jared The Mouse By Ali
Â
There was a mouse named Jared. He lives with his mom and dad in the forest named the Trondheim forest. The forest has a lot of trees and it is where lots of nice and friendly animals live. The animals are not bossy like other animals in other forests and they don’t hurt each other. But sometimes the forest can be dangerous because in some of the places there are evil critters that steal mice from their parents and eat them. That’s why Jared's parents tell him not to go to the woods without permission from his parents. Jarod is very mischievous and loves adventures. One day
Jarod woke up early in the morning to explore in the woods. He got dressed and went outside without his parents’ permission.When his parents woke up, they went to Jared's room to see if he was there but Jared was gone. His parents started panicking. “I am so worried if Jared is in trouble,” cried Jared's mom. “Let’s go look for him. Maybe he is in trouble.” said Jared's dad. They rushed to the door to find Jarod. First they went to their neighbor’s house to see if Jared was there, but he wasn’t there. “ I have not seen him today. Maybe he is in the other neighbor’s house” said the neighbor. Then they went to their second neighbor’s to see if Jared was there. But he wasn’t there, so they went to Jared's friend’s house to see if he was there, but he wasn’t there. “Let’s go look in the forest. Maybe he is there,” said Jared's mom. Jared's mom, dad, sister and brother went to look for him to see if he was in the forest. They went looking and looking until they found Critter Valley where bad guys lived. They went looking for him there, but he wasn’t there. While Jared's parents and siblings were looking for him, Jarod was walking all by himself in the opposite direction. When they left Critter Valley, Jarod appeared in Critter Valley. Jarod’s family went to look in Friendly Valley which was where the nice people lived. Jarod wasn’t there. Jared's mom got. frightened. “What if we never find him again?” Jared's mom whined.
“We’ll find him, if we look hard enough!” said Jared's dad optimistically. Meanwhile, Jarod was walking and there was a hole in front of him. Jarod didn’t see it and he fell in it.
“Help!” cried Jarod. “Anybody? Help!” But nobody heard him. He starts to panic. A rabbit came by and Jarod screamed for help. “I can’t help right now because I have to get home for dinner. If I don’t get home for dinner I’ll be in trouble,” said the little rabbit. An hour passes and Jarod is feeling nervous. He is tapping his hands and feet and biting his lip. He is thinking, “I never should
have done this. I am going to get in so much trouble when I get home. If I get out of this hole.” A squirrel passes by and Jarod screams for help. “Help! Can you help me?” “I can’t,” said the squirrel. “I have to gather acorns and bury them before winter.” Then, it started drizzling. While it started to rain, Jared's parents were still looking for him. They looked everywhere, but gave up because they couldn’t find Jarod. After they gave up the search, they walked home with tears in their eyes. When they arrived home, Jared's mom cried, “I can’t believe we couldn’t find him! Maybe he’s in trouble? Maybe he was stolen by the critters who steal baby mice and eat them?” While they were at home, Jarod was still stuck in the hole as it rained harder than ever before. The hole was filled up water. “I can swim!” remembered Jarod. “I can also float.” Jarod floated to the surface, he ran home as fast as he could. He was shaking, and tears were running down his cheeks. When he reached home, he saw his parents crying. He went and hugged his mom very tight. “I’m very sorry, I shouldn’t have gone to the woods without permission. I will never do it again, I promise.” cried Jarod. “It’s okay, we forgive you. But promise you never run off again. We thought we would never see you again,” said Jared’s parents. “I promise, I’ll never leave the house again,” Jarod said cheerfully.
