Pat the rat has a hat.
This is Pat.
He is a fat rat.
Pat wants a snack.
He sees a black ant.
It’s a snack! Says Pat.
The ant goes under the mat.
Pat sits on the mat and‌
The ant jumps out of the mat. Woaw, the ant jumps high!
Mmm, I can try that, and not be fat. Thinks Pat.
No! I’m not a snack!
The ant runs as fast as she can.
Pat falls asleep on the mat.
Pat sees a snack in his dream…
What is Pat’s snack?
CHEESE!
