Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse

Part 2

Continuing the story of Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse, Alexander and the wind-up mouse, named Willy have become friends. However Willy is scared and wants to become real so that he can leave his box. Willy tells Alexander that the box is full of toys that will be gotten rid of.

Alexander, upon hearing this hatches a wild plan. His first task is to contact the magical lizard, who then tells Alexander to bring him a purple pebble. Only after that will Willy the Wind-up mouse become a real mouse. (Continued Page 3)

 

I remember this part of the story giving me a nervous feeling. All sorts of questions like "Will he find the purple pebble in time?" and"Will Willy really turn into a real mouse?" all made me enjoy the story by adding suspense to the mix.
