An adventure of a mouse
It was time to leave the cave．I'd been with my mum and brothers and sisters for the first five weeks of my life So I packed up a bag．I nside were things that I thought I'd need to have along the way．
This included a toothbrush，a change of clothes，and，of course，my lucky bottle cap．
My Uncle Louie had found the bottle cap on his travels long ago．He was running from a fierce cat．That's when Uncle Louie discovered it was"lucky"．He used it to slide down a hill．At the bottom of the hill，rushing water began to carry him away． Luckily，he was able to guide the boat through the waters．I listened to Uncle Louie tell the story many，many times．One day，to my surprise，he gave me the lucky charm （幸运符）．
With that，I said my good﹣byes．Then I left the cave that I had known for so long．Outside the sun was shining．Birds were singing high in the trees． All of a sudden my ears caught the sound of something unusual．The sky darkened like night．The wind blew strongly．I quickly searched for cover．There was none．The next thing I knew，white stones began hitting the ground．Then it hit me．My bottle cap!I placed it over my head just as one of the ice balls crashed onto the cap．Stunned，but not hurt，I sat still for some time．Then I smiled．The lucky charm had saved the day and my life!
A．I have carried it with me ever since．
B．I wanted to explore the outside world．
C．Thinking quickly，he used the bottle cap as a boat．
D．I reached into my pack and pulled out my lucky charm．
E．With each step I took，the excitement of being on my own grew bigger and bigger．
