One night, while taking Honey outside, I dropped a paper plate on the ground. When I picked it up, I started to walk backward. I didn't see where I was going, as I was walking, I stepped on something and it squeaked. I looked down and saw a little field mouse. I called for Daddy and he came running. The mouse was squirming and twisting because I stepped on it. It wasn't fully dead yet. I yelled,"It's a mouse"! So Mommy came to see. As soon as she saw it flipping around, she said," I can't see an animal dying." So she quickly went inside. I asked Daddy if we could save it, but he said it was too late. I went inside to bring Honey in. And Gabby said that it was dead. So Daddy took a bag and picked the dead mouse up and threw it in the trash can. I felt bad that I had killed it. But Mommy said it was okay. After that incident, I wanted to make a mouse trap. The trap above is the one I made. But I didn't get any mice yet. Mommy said if I caught one, I could maybe keep it. So every night, I put the trap in a quiet hidden place, waiting for a mouse to fall in!!
