Mouse had a warm welcome when he arrived home. He stood the Christmas tree he had been carrying against a tree, he was glad to put it down at last, it had been very awkward to hold. then he retrieved the lantern out of the sack & lit it. "Yeah, Bob you are back, hope all went well?" called one of the mice stood by the boot house. "Ohhh Bob, let me take that sack from you it looks so heavy." said the other. The two younger mice playing on the wood pile paid no attention to Bob coming home. They were having a lovely game. "Yes, I am back, I think I have everything. I did have a helper, called himself Zwoggle but I seem to have lost him but he cannot be far behind me." laughed Bob. He turned to look back to where he had just come from but couldn't see Zwoggle at all. Oh well I am sure he will find us, come on lets get started." said Bob. Jasmine, Meadow & Zlata had reached the boot house & were taking a sneaky peek at what was going on. "Wonder whats happening?" asked Zlata. "Well I am sure we will find out very soon." said Jasmine. "But where is Zwoggle, now he is lost like Truly & Mr. Buck." Meadow gave a big sigh, she was thinking that she was too old for all these goings on!!!!!!
