One fine afternoon, Mousetchi looked at the clock. It was almost 4 PM, and it was almost time for tea! Mousetchi began to panic, but he calmed down and went to the china cupboard. He pulled out cups and saucers, plus a flat dish for tea spoons, and some nice plates. He set the table and boiled the water.
A knock at the door sent Mousetchi into another brief panic, but he calmed down again and went to answer the door. It was Kutchipatchi and Mimitchi, who had come for tea. Mousetchi led them into the room and showed them where to sit. Then he went to fetch the teapot.
'Here's the tea!' he said, pouring it out into the cups. Kutchipatchi and Mimitchi took cream and sugar, and Mimitchi also accepted a small cake. They sipped their tea, and Mimitchi ate her cake. Mousetchi sat in his chair and felt happy. He had served tea on his own!
'Very good job, Mousetchi,' said Kutchipatchi as he went to the door to leave. Mimitchi stayed to help Mousetchi clear the table. They washed the cups and saucers and shined the spoons, and put them away. Mimitchi smiled at her friend. Mousetchi gave her another cake to take home for later on.
That's all there is to this story!
