ar-01 Once there was a young rat named
Arthur who never could make up his mind.
ar-02 Whenever his friends asked him
if he would like to go out with them,
ar-03 he would only answer, "I don't
know;" he wouldn't say yes or no either.
ar-04 He would always shirk making a
choice. His Aunt Helen said to him,
ar-05 "Now look here! No one is going to
care for you if you carry on like this.
ar-06 You have no more mind than a
blade of grass."
ar-07 One rainy day the rats heard a great noise in the
loft.
ar-08 The pine rafters were all rotten, so that the barn was rather
unsafe.
ar-09 At last the joists gave way and fell to the ground.
ar-10 The walls
shook, and all the rats' hair stood on end with fear and horror.
ar-11 "This
won't do," said the captain; "I'll send out scouts to search for a new
home."
ar-12 Within five hours the ten scouts came back and said,
ar-13 "We found a
stone house where there is room for us all.
ar-14 There is a kindly horse
named Nelly, a cow, a calf, and a garden with an elm tree."
ar-15 The rats
crawled out of their little houses and stood on the floor in a long
line.
ar-16 Just then the old rat saw Arthur. Stop. he ordered coarsely.
ar-17 "You
are coming, of course." "I'm not certain," said Arthur, undaunted,
ar-18 "The
roof may not come down yet."
ar-19 "Well," said the old rat, "we can't wait
for you to join us. Right about face! March!"
ar-20 Arthur stood and watched
them hurry away.
ar-21 "I think I'll go tomorrow," he said calmly to himself,
"but then again I don't know;
ar-22 it's so nice and snug here,". That night
there was a big crash.
ar-23 In the foggy morning some men with some boys and
girls rode up and looked at the barn.
ar-24 One of them moved a board and saw
a rat quite dead, half in and half out of his hole.
