The Bed Bugs—Part 1 ae

A mouse had a house that shined. Every day, that
mouse got a rag and went from room to room.® The
mouse picked up every bit of dust. The mouse was
very proud. “This is how I like my house.” ©

But on a cold day that mouse found something
bad. The mouse was going to dust in the bed room.
The mouse looked at the bed and said, “I see bugs in
that bed.” © There were ten red bugs in the bed.

“Get out of that bed,” the mouse yelled.

“No,” a bug said. “We must stay in a bed. We are
bed bugs.” ®

“My house shines,” the mouse said. “I can not
have bugs in here.”

A bug came near the mouse. That bug said, “If we
are bed bugs, we must live in beds. We are not grass
bugs, so we can not live in the grass. We are not barn
bugs, so we can not live in a barn.” ©

Stop.
