The Dingle-Mouses were in their living chamber. Oliver was eating a piece of cheese. It kept his paws off the piano and gave his father a break from the endless playing of Tchaikovsky’s opus 71.
Oliver was about to go back to his piano when a knock came on the door. Oliver answered. Brianna stood on the white stone that was the front step, while Timmy danced like a cat on a hot tin roof.
“Have you got the last of it?” asked Oliver.
“Sure have.” Timmy darted inside. “Mom sold the last cookie trap this morning.”
“This is the last money from our business.” Brianna dropped two silver dollars in Oliver’s paws.
Oliver stuffed the money in his pocket. “This will come in handy to buy more sheet music. Dad will be happy. I think he’s tired of hearing Tchaikovsky.”
“I’ve never heard it before.” Timmy tiled his head. “Could you play it for me?”
“Sure!” Oliver wagged his tail at the thought of having an audience. “Follow me to the piano room.”
“Leave the door open,” said Mrs. Dingle-Mouse, “so we can listen to the music.
Mr. Dingle-Mouse moaned.
After a few songs, the little Knoll-Mice came out of the room lead by Brianna and Timmy, Oliver came behind.
“Is that a new dress?” asked Mrs. Dingle-Mouse.
Brianna spun around so the hem would flare out. “Yes, I made it myself with the sewing machine I bought from my share of the profits.”
“I like what you have done with all those patches,” said Mrs. Dingle-Mouse.
“You think so?” asked Brianna. “Mom said I put too many patches on. I would have added more, but I ran out of material.”
Mr. Dingle-Mouse put down his paper. “What about you, Timmy? How are you going to spend your profits?”
Timmy held out Oliver’s old seed catalogue. “I’m buying seeds like Oliver and starting a farm.”
“Really?” asked Mr. D...

... “How about you and Mom signing up?”
“I think your father and I will pass on the music lessons,” replied Mrs. Dingle-Mouse. “But we would be interested in any performances.”
“There’s one next week,” said Gunter. “Mom is going and she is dragging along Dad.”
“Your mother and I will be there too,” said Mr. Dingle-Mouse. “Where do we buy tickets for the.... What is the show?”
“I have some tickets here in my pocket,” said Gunter. “It’s my ballet class recital. We are doing The Nutcracker. Dad says it will be a real money maker, so get your ticket now while they’re still available.”
Mrs. Dingle-Mouse looked at her husband. “I always wanted you to take me to the ballet.”
Oliver saw the look of shock on his father’s face. “Mrs. Rat is the ballet teacher and she said that I should take every opportunity perform when she offered me the job of playing the piano in her show.”
Frowning, I rapped on the door even harder. “Do you want to play?” I yelled over the blaring pop music. I could picture Clary sprawled on her bed with her tablet, on social media or taking selfies. “Clary?”
A tall black rat entered the shop holding a basket. She wore a yellow bonnet and matching dress. She walked around the shop while Oliver finished unloading the radishes. Timmy had somehow fallen into the bin.
“This ones going to kill my story. It was so happy and magical.” Elizabeth fluttered to the front of the room.
“Absolutely,” I exclaimed, grinning while crushing my toes under my feet, attempting to begin preparing, already. “What do you recommend?”
"That would be fine. Is this sufficient?" He reached into a pocket and dropped a dollar coin on the bar. It bounced a few times and Joe slapped his hand down to keep it from rolling off the bar. "Hope I didn't damage the wood."
Then that moment Squeaky noticed something. She noticed that there was someone in the back of them. The person was Raymond, her little brother! She was in so much shock but also so proud of him for getting in the race and at least trying to run even though he really couldn’t.
Like a kid with a new puppy, the children are instantly obsessed. They spend almost all of their time in this room. As time goes on, the parents of Wendy and Peter begin to become worried about how much time they spend in the room however. As they walk into the

“ Hey. If I don’t make it, give this to the Mrs.’s.” Jonathan hands me a piece of crumbled paper.
Corporate Downsizing Organizations in every segment of business, industry, government, and education are downsizing. Downsizing is and has been a controversial phenomenon in the last few years. The controversy that surrounds downsizing may be better described as a debate in organizational theory about whether change is adaptive or disruptive. The issues which establish the outcome of the controversy include why the downsizing is taking affect, how it is implemented, and what steps are taken to enhance its effects on organizational performance. The reasons for corporate downsizing are presented in many forms. Some companies downsize due to technological changes such as automation, which brings about the need for a reduction in the production workforce. Others may feel that competitiveness with other companies warrants the need for a reduction in the workforce. Financial setbacks due to customer demand, market shares, and loss of revenue could also initiate the need for downsizing. When will it end? Experts say it won't. For instance, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was established as a universal trade agreement between the US, Cannada, and Mexico to allow free imports and exports.
The old nun smiled. “You look just like Hanna, Dominique and I was young and dancing in the hall on the square. But that was before Hanna married and I took my vows.”
“Really?” Alex asked skeptically. “How do you plan on doing that? I don’t exactly have any money on me.”

Then Dad and Fritz found the donkey, whom they had dreadfully lost earlier in the story. Once
Once upon a time in a land far away, there lived four characters who ran through a maze looking for cheese to nourish then and make them happy. Two were mice named “Sniff” and “Scurry” and two were little people named “Hem” and “Haw”. One day all of them were in a search of their own special cheese in maze.
