More about Mice


The other day I pulled out a rat trap for my neighbor, Sanda. I showed him how it worked and told him to keep it away from the kids. Honestly, I was not convinced that he understood my instructions. A couple hours later, I went out to talk to the ladies. I asked if they saw Sanda's new trap and they responded by showing me the rat that he had already caught. By that evening, the count had gone up to 4. And during the night, 7 more! There are still plenty of rats in the house, but the trap has become a big success. Perhaps this will be the end of the rats chewing Sanda's feet.
Another interesting comment: According to my neighbors, rats and mice only live in houses, not in traditional huts. Oh, and mice are considered good food, as long as they are caught in the forest, not in the house.
