He went back and got a longer string.

                                                   He tied the bun with the long string,

                                                   then pulled and pulled but it did

                                                   not move.


                                                   Mouse sat down and ate a little bit of

                                                   the bun.



          It was very good. He ate a little more,                                     What do you call a    Connect
                                                                                                           Language
          then a little more, and a little more till                                  mouse in your mother

          the bun became smaller and smaller.                                         tongue?


          He pushed the bun,

          it rolled right into his house.

          Mouse was very happy.

          The bun was safely in his house.

          But he had eaten so much bun

          that his stomach had become


          so... so... big.



                                                 Mouse pushed and pushed himself

                                                 but he could not get into his house.



                                                 Mouse sat outside his door
                                                 holding his stomach

                                                 and groaned,



                                                 ‘I should not have eaten so much bun.

                                                 I should have shared it with someone.’
