Ratón en la casa

Autor: Sowmya Rajendran

Ilustrador: Tanaya Vyas

Había un ratón en la casa. La abuela lo vio primero.
«¡Ratón!» , gritó ella, mientras saltaba al sofá. Los cojines cayeron al suelo.

«¿Dónde?» , preguntó el abuelo, subiendo la ventana. Bajó las cortinas. «¡Allí!» , gritó la abuela, mientras saltaba a la mesa. Los platos cayeron con estrépito.

«¡Atrápalo!» , dijo Mithun al gato. ¡El gato miró al ratón y huyó bajo la cama!
«¡Ratón!» , gritó Mithun, mientras corría detrás del gato.

«¡Lo perseguiré!» , dijo la abuela con valentía. Sacó la escoba y golpeó aquí y allá. «¡Ratón!» , gritó el abuelo. «¡Detrás de ti!»
¡La abuela miró el ratón y huyó debajo de la cama!

«¡Sé qué hay que hacer!» , gritó la abuela mientras saltaba del sofá. Enrolló un periódico y golpeó aquí y allá.

«¡Ratón!» , gritó el abuelo, mientras subía la ventana aún más alto.
«¡A tu izquierda!» La abuela miró el ratón y huyó debajo de la cama.

«¡Oh, no!» , dijo el abuelo en voz baja. No podía ir más alto. ¡Bajó con cuidado y huyó debajo de la cama antes de que el ratón pudiera verlo!

«¡Ratón en la casa!» , gritaron todos a la vez. Eso despertó a Bebé. Se sentó en su colchoneta, mientras se frotaba los ojos por el sueño. ¿Qué era eso que había en su almohada?

Tenía dos ojos, cuatro pies, y una larga cola.
«¡Ratón!» , dijo Bebé, mientras palmeaba alegremente. ¡Bebé miró al ratón y el ratón huyó, con Bebé justo detrás de él!

Saltando del sofá, subiendo por la ventana, saltando sobre la mesa, cayendo sobre los cojines...

... corriendo entre las cortinas, corriendo sobre los platos, ¡ y fuera de la puerta !
