Emil’s Pranks, by Astrid Lindgren She woke because a great rat had run across her face! She jumped up with a shriek and seized hold of a log, but the rat had already disappeared into a hole beside the log box. ---- But of course he realized that the rat must be caught, and since the cat was no longer there, it would have to be done in some other way. So he baited a rat-trap with a nice bit of bacon and put it…. under the big table. ---- The next moment his mother came hurrying in. She pulled him out of bed and hissed into his ear, ’Quick! Off to the toolshed with you before your father gets his toe out of the rat-trap, or I believe your last hour has come!’ [photo] |
