Stuart Little #3

By now I have come to the realization that I will never have time to go get a new book, so I am going to finish this one and then pick a new one.

Stuart is hungry so he slips inside the refrigerator, and assumes that Mrs. Little has seen him. His assumption was wrong and he quickly realized that he was stuck in there. Luckily Mrs. Little opened up the refrigerator door 30 minutes later and saved poor Stuart. Stuart wasn't out of trouble yet, because Stuart caught a cold that quickly turned into bronchitis, which kept him in bed for 2 weeks. Mrs. Little is doing the dishes when she sees a bird that appears dead on the windowsill she quickly takes it in the house and figures out that it isn't dead at all. Stuart meets the bird (whose name is Margalo), and decides that she is a very nice bird. He finds out that she wil be sleeping in the fern in the living room, and he is worried for her because he remembers Snowball the cat. Stuart devises a plot to protect Margalo. Stuart makes a bow and arrows, and when night falls he positions himself upon a vantage point of the fern. When the clock struck 10 Snowball entered and was about to pounce on Margalo, but Stuart shot Snowball in his left ear which thwarted his evil plans. The next day Stuart was going to go ice skating so he went outside and traveled in the direction of the lake. A dog came so Stuart hid in a trash can. The garbage men came and dumped the trash and Stuart into the truck! The truck drove until it got to the ocean where it dumped all its trash onto a ship. Stuart new that the trash would be dumped out at sea where he would drown, he prepared to die like a man. Suddenly Stuart sees Margalo and she quickly picks him up and takes him back home, saving his life.

I read up to page 67
