Iggy Pig’s Dark Night

It was a very dark night.

Mother Pig was tucking Iggy Pig into bed.
“Goodnight, dear Iggy Pig,” she said.
“Sleep well!”

Mother Pig shut the door.

Iggy Pig shut his eyes.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Someone was tapping on the window.

Iggy Pig sat up in bed.
Iggy Pig listened.
Tap! Tap! Tap!

Iggy Pig jumped out of bed.

He went to the window and he opened it wide.
Iggy Pig looked out.

It was a very dark night.

There were no stars.
There was no moon.
There was no one there.

Iggy Pig shut the window and jumped into bed.

Iggy Pig shut his eyes.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Sugar Mountain

“We’re going to have a treat,”

said Mel Mouse to his best friend, Max Mouse.
“Look!”

Someone had spilt a load of sugar on the shop floor.

The sugar looked like a big white mountain.
“You stand guard. I’ll get Molly Mouse,” said Max.

Max ran around the shop floor looking for Molly.

It was late at night.
He ran to the fruit section.
Molly was nibbling an apple.

“We’ve got a treat,” said Max, grinning.

“Come and see.”

The three mice gazed up at the sugar mountain.

“We’ll scoff the lot!” said Molly.
She was always hungry.

“We’ll eat till we’re sick!” squeaked Mel.

“Yippee’” they shouted.
“Let’s get started!”

Then suddenly...
