541 - Peter's reward.

At first hour in the morning, when Peter's mom came into the kitchen to make breakfast, she screamed loudly because in the rat-trap was the villain who had been stealing their food, and soon everyone in the house went to the kitchen to see why she had screamed.

"What happened, darling?" asked Peter's dad.
"Look! There's a rat in the rat-trap" answered Peter's mom.
"Kill the rat, dad, kill it!" screamed Peter's sister, scared and disgusted by the little creature.
"Give me a second, darling, let me get my hammer."
"NO! No, dad, don't kill it" screamed Peter and started to cry "That little rat is just an animal, it didn't know what it was doing, please dad, don't kill it, it hasn't done anything wrong to us."
"Okay, Peter, I won't kill it"
"But dad! It is a disgusting animal!" argued Peter's sister.
"No dad! Don't kill it!"
"Okay, this is what we are going to do, I'll take the little rat to the park and I'll set it free there, so it won't bother us anymore and I won't have to kill it, do you agree children?"
"YEAH, DAD! THANKS!" screamed Peter.
"Alright, but the next time there's a rat in the rat-trap, you kill it, dad!" said Peter's Sister not very happy with the agreement.

That night, during dinner, Peter lost his sixth milk tooth, and very excited he put it under his pillow when he went to bed so the Tooth Mouse would change it for a dollar; but for Peter surprise,  when he woke up the next morning, instead of finding one dollar bill under his pillow, he found two.

The end.
