 
Once upon a time there lived an old chubby mouse. He lived a long and happy life but one day something strange happened. He took a deep breath and gasped for oxygen. All the other animals noticed his big breaths and wondered why he was breathing so hard. 
The mouse knew he was running out of oxygen and had a plan to save himself. He snuck into the nearby village and found a small red balloon. He tied it to his back and jumped into the air. As he flew he caught a breeze and soared into the sky. 
The mouse was so happy that he began to laugh. But soon he realized his balloon was shrinking. He looked down to see the chubby mouse was beginning to plummet. With a loud pop, the balloon burst which sent the mouse crashing to the ground. 
But luckily, the mouse had enough oxygen left in his balloon to save him! He landed safely back on the ground and everyone around cheered. The mouse learned a valuable lesson that day and was able to live another long and happy life.
