Une souris dans la maison

Auteure : Sowmya Rajendran

Illustratrice : Tanaya Vyas

Il y avait une souris dans la maison. Mamie la vit en premier.
« Une souris ! » s’écria-t-elle en sautant sur le canapé. Les coussins sont tombés par terre.

« Où ? » , demanda papa montant sur la fenêtre. Il baissa les rideaux. « Là ! » , s’écria maman en sautant sur la table. Les assiettes tombèrent avec fracas.

« Attrape-la ! » dit Mithun au chat. Le chat regarda la souris et s’enfuit sous le lit !
« Une souris!” s’écria Mithun en courant derrière le chat.

« Je vais la chasser ! » déclara maman bravement. Elle sortit le balai et donna des petits coups ici et là. « Une souris ! » s’écria papa. « Derrière toi ! »
Maman regarda la souris et s’enfuit sous le lit !

« Je sais quoi faire ! » s’écria mamie en sautant du canapé. Elle roula un journal et donna des petits coups ici et là.

« Une souris ! » s’écria papa montant encore plus haut sur la fenêtre.
« Sur ta gauche ! » Mamie regarda la souris et s’enfuit sous le lit.

« Oh non ! » dit doucement papa. Il ne pouvait pas aller plus haut. Il descendit avec précaution et s’enfuit sous le lit avant que la souris ne puisse le voir !

« Une souris dans la maison ! » s’écrièrent-ils tous ensemble. Cela réveilla le bébé. Elle s’assit sur son matelas, se frottant les yeux d’un air endormi. Qu’est-ce que c’était sur son oreiller ?

Cela avait deux yeux, quatre pieds et une longue queue.
« Une souris ! » dit bébé en applaudissant joyeusement. Le bébé regarda la souris, et la souris s’enfuit, avec le bébé la suivant de près !

Elle saute sur le canapé, grimpe sur la fenêtre, saute sur la table, culbute sur les coussins...

... coure entre les rideaux, détale sur les assiettes, et passe par la la porte !
