The mice were jealous and envious they wanted a stone just like Milo’s. They wanted one now. So they asked Milo where he found it. Milo said that he had found it up in the mountains in a cave.
As soon as they heard that they ran straight up pushing and shoving trying to get there first. When they got there and started looking they were disappointed as there appeared that only a few stones were left right at the back of the cave. All the mice jumped up at once scrambling to the back of the cave. They went crashing into each other and pushing so hard that they made a hole in the cave and the stones fell out. Down and down they went, the mice ran after them. Suddenly out of nowhere a wise mouse appeared and grabbed the stones and said “remember what ever you take you must give back”. The mice ignored the mouse and pushed him over and the stones went into the water and sunk to the bottom. One of the mice tried to swim down to get it but had no luck, unfortunately he drowned.
The wise mouse said a lot more bad things were going to happen, and they did. Every day more mice got diseases and died. Milo got sick and he died too. For the few mice that were left the wise one said, “Let this be a lesson to you all. Greed is not a good thing!”
THE END
