Men or Mice

There was a little mouse named Nikki. He was a ordinary brown colored mouse. He lived in a field with Tarantulas, lizards, kangaroo rats, jack rabbits, squirrels, skunks and ground hogs as neighbors. Every mourning he would get out of his little nest he made under the ground to catch seeds and bugs to eat. He loved to eat grasshoppers, especially the little green ones that come out in the spring, they were so juicy. He was a tidy mouse and always cleaned himself up before and after dinner. He lived behind a couple of houses in a huge field that used to hold orange groves, but was taken out five years ago. He hates the birds because they sometimes steel his lunch and this morning was no exception, because a sparrow already stole this tasty sun flower seed he worked for days to collect right out of his hands. Down by the river bed there is a patch of sun flowers, and during the summer he always goes down there with his buddy James, so he could create a diversion if any coyote tried to catch him. He would go down there with his mouse buddy during the night and just squeak about how he missed his family and how big the harvest was going to be before winter.
This year James was going to live by Nikki because he explaines that their is a coyote pack that has moved down from the mountains (seen largely in the distance of their home), and has come down to find more food. Nikki like a good friend, allows him to stay. Although him and his buddy are opposites, he does get along with him quite well. Nikki was tiddy, clean, and shy because his family was always weary of strangers; and James was very friendly and open with his wishes and desires. He was the fattest mouse in his family because he was always aggressive when it came to food. As far as companionship, Nikki was never really good with the lady mice, but James, well lets just say he is on his fourth relationship this year and each one is a different mouse. As these two mice live together they find out a lot about the experiences of life and death, in much of the same way that we people do. Hopefully but surefully they will be friends forever.
