On the first day in her new house，Mouse wrote a letter to her old friend.
|
Dear Vole, My house is very comfortable, but none of my new neighbors will be as good a friend as you are. Love, Mouse |
On the way to the post office, Mouse saw Beaver. He gave Mouse a big smile.
"Perhaps I should say hello, "thought Mouse." Beaver's teeth are so long and sharp（锋利的）. Beaver wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, whose smile was kind." So Mouse left without saying hello.
After lunch, Mouse heard a knock on her door. Then she peeked（偷看）out the window. It was Squirrel.
"Perhaps I should invite her in for tea, "thought Mouse." But Squirrel talks a lot. Squirrel wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, who always listened." So Mouse didn't open the door.
That night, Mouse looked at a picture of herself and Vole. She thought back to the first time she met Vole. She remembered feeling afraid-afraid of Vole's eyes and Vole's large size.
In fact, Vole had seemed so different that Mouse almost decided Vole wouldn't make a good friend.
Mouse realized something." I made a mistake!" she cried.
The next morning, Mouse made some cakes and put them in a basket.
She went to Beaver's house first, and next to Squirrel's house.
When Mouse returned home, she was smiling. She went to her desk and wrote a letter to Vole.

Dear Vole, Today, I visited my new neighbors. Beaver has strong teeth. He uses them to build homes. Squirrel knows lots of stories. She makes me laugh. I think Beaver and Squirrel will be my good friends like you are. Love, Mouse |
