The Hamster's Friend

The rat had always idealised the hamster's lifestyle from afar. She'd never been to Tim and Chris's house before, given that until now she'd never been invited. On Thursday, after Tim and Chris had left for their cruise, the hamster waited for the rat’s arrival,. napping intermittently. The rat, meanwhile, had been too nervous to sleep. At night, in her will, theHamster began to worry about having the rats come to stay. What if they ate the place empty? What if they started breeding? Worse yet, what if they brought some kind of awful pestilence with them?
