One day， a mouse found a big piece of cake. It looked very sweet.

The mouse loved desserts. He wanted to take it home.

He had to cross a pond. But he didnt want to jump into the water.

Just then， a frog came out of the water. He said， “I can jump across the pond for you. Then will you share your cake with me？”

The mouse thought for a moment and then said， “Of course.”

The frog crossed the pond for the mouse.

But the mouse didnt want to share. So he said， “I will give you some later.”

The mouse continued to walk.

The mouse had to climb up a hill with the big piece of cake.

Just then， a rabbit came out. He said， “I can climb up the hill for you. Then will you share your cake with me？”

“Of course.” said the mouse.

The rabbit climbed up the hill for the mouse.

But the mouse didnt want to share， either. So he said， “I will give you some later.”
