Walter’s Pumpkin House was luxurious, especially if you’re a mouse. It had a pine needle couch tied together with twine. It also had a table made of a mushroom. A rug of moss lay on the floor. Walter’s bed was made of a matchbox with 4 little twigs for bedposts. The mattress was milkweed. There was a little mouse candle, which had been on someone’s birthday cake once upon a time. Hanging on the wall was a poster of “Cheeses Around the World.” Walter had worked very hard hollowing the pumpkin, making his furniture, and setting each item in its place. He was very content living there.
