Quiet as a mouse

Warm and snug in bed, Jimmy has just woken up. It’s early morning and he is listening very hard. Outside in the garden he can hear the birds singing, while the sunlight begins to creep round the curtain into his room. Insight the house it is silent. Jimmy listens hard – no, he can’t still hear them. Then he hears his mumcome past his bedroom and go downstairs to get breakfast, and it’s quiet again.

Jimmy tries to remember what happened the night before. He wanted to stay awake to see what happens at night. He thought if he stayed really still when everyone else was asleep he would be able to hear them. Of course, it was hard to stay completely still not moving, not even to get cool on a hot night by sliding his leg across to a cold spot in the bed. Once his nose began to itch and he had to put his hand up to scratch it.

It all started the week before while his mother was trying to write her weekly shopping list. Jimmy was running around the kitchen and jumping up and down because he couldn’t get to go out. His mum stop writing and said, ”Jimmy, sometimes you make more noise than an elephant. Couldn’t you be more like a mouse? You know what they say “quiet as a mouse”. What’ll happen when you to school?”

Jimmy stopped jumping, ”What do you mean, mum?”

“Well, at school you’ll have to learn to listen when the teacher is telling you something.”

Jimmy was thoughtful. ”How quiet was a mouse?”

“Well, there are a lot of mice in this old house but you can’t hear them because they don’t make any noise.”

For the next few days Jimmy went all over the house listening. In the sitting room he put his ear to the floor for a whole hour. Upstairs in his room he looked into a big cupboard and waited and waited. He even banged on the floor with his shoe to see if it would make the mice go round, so he could hear them. Still nothing.

Soon it was time for Jimmy to get ready to start school. His mother showed him how to write his name, bought him his first school uniform, a new blue bag and some coloured crayons. Jimmy was so busy he forgot to go listening.

After his first day at school, Jimmy’s dad asked him how he had got on.

“Well, the teacher asked me if there was something wrong because I didn’t5 say anything all day.”

“Why was that, Jimmy?”

“I don’t know why – I was quiet as a mouse.”
