She was just resting and ready for the next when that bit her tail and scam pered away The next turned into a big rat and looked so tough that she decided to try some of the others.
 Two of the others made a dash for a hole and got away so she reached out her paw quick for at least one of the rest and woke up and found she had fallen out of her basket on to the floor and had given her head a good bump and that was what had woke her up.
