Stuart Little #2

Unfortunately this week I could not make it to the library because I have been too busy but hopefully next week I will get a different book.

George is afraid that Stuart is lost and attempts to pry open the floorboards and look for him. Mr. and Mrs. Little strongly disaprove and make him stop. George whose first plot was foiled decides that sticking applesauce in the mousehole is a great alternative. Mr. Little becomes fed up and tells George to let him handle the situation. The family searches all around the house and yet they still cannot find Stuart. After lunch Mrs. Little says "Stuart must be dead", to which George replies "If he is dead,we ought to pull down the shades all throughout the house.". George pulled down the shade that Stuart was in and out he flew. Stuart takes the bus to the pond and asks a man sailing a toy boat if he can captain the vessel. The man says of course, if you can beat that other boat in a race. Stuart agrees to those terms and gets ready for the race. Many people hear of the race, and flock to the pond to see it. The race starts, but just about as soon as it does the people start pushing to see and they push a policeman in the water. The policeman causes a huge wave that knocks Stuart off his boat. Stuart climbs back aboard the vessel and continues the race. As Stuart is racing he crashes into a paper bag and gets stuck, but he quickly dispatches it with his pocketknife and continues the race. Stuart wins the race and is invited to sail the ship any time he wants.

I read up to page 47.
