Walter and His Pumpkin House

Page 6

Walter´s Pumpkin House was luxurious, especially if you´re a mouse.  It had a pine needle couch tied together with twine.  It also had a table made of a mushroom.  A rug of moss lay on the floor.  Walter´s bed was mad of a matchbox with 4 little twigs for bedposts.  The mattress was milkweek. There was a little mouse candle, which had been on someone´s birthday cake once upon a time.  Hanging on the wall was a poster of "Cheeses Around the World."  Walter had worked very hard hollowing the pumpkin, making his furniture, and setting each item in its place.  He was very content living there.
