Author: Ruth Chua Hak Yee 

 Once upon a time, there was a young and brave mouse called Nick. Nick had two elder brothers: Allan and Sam, three elder sister: Ella, Faith, and Karen. Its father was named Andrew and his mother was named Dorcas. When Nick was only nine months old, his dearest mother died after a accident. So Nick's father married another beautiful mouse named Hope.

  Nick and his family live in a hole near Charlotte's house. Charlotte was a kind, tender, and lovely girl. Charlotte adored the mice very much, she always gave them food and played with them whenever she was free.

  Candy and Snow, Charlotte's pet kittens, envied the mice family. their master liked the mice more than them! The two kittens soon got on a plan. When their master was not in, they tiptoed into the mice's hole and kidnapped them by locking them in the highest cave they knew. 

  "Mission Accomplished!" Candy cackled evilly. "They'll never ever escape from the steep, spiky cave top!" Snow meowed. "Oh dear! Why did Candy and Snow locked us in here?" said Nick, panic, "Perhaps they were jealous, or ...... I just can't think about it." Sam mumbled. "Candy and Snow are such bad tempered kitten!" Faith babbled. "Calm down, calm down, everyone." Andrew assured his worried family, "We need to think of a way to escape! Sam, you are thin enough to squeeze through the spiky rocks. Squeeze through them and grab some strong rattans nearby to make a rope. When you return, use the rattans to chop off anything that block our way, you hear that, ANYTHING! Nick. Nick? Nick, where are you, Nick?!?!" Oh no, Nick was gone!!!  "Nick! N-ick!!!!" "Nick are you there?!?!" Everyone is worried and scared.
