Chester's


Written and Illustrated by Kerry O'Connor


One hot summer day, Chester and his friends were playing basketball at the park.  They loved playing basketball together so much, that they did it every day.



Chester had nine other friends with him.  Altogether, there were ten mice.  They did everything together.



One day, as Chester went to the park to meet up with his friends, he saw that only eight of his friends showed up.  Chester was wondering why one of his friends did not show up.



Chester and his friends decided to play without one of their friends.  A few minutes later, though, Chester discovered that two more of his friends went missing.  Chester was so confused.



Where were all of Chester's friends going?  Chester tried not to worry and continued to play basketball with his remaining friends.  Soon enough, there were only 4 mice left.



The mice that were playing basketball with Chester told him that they had to leave.  Chester felt very sad.



Chester went home, dribbling his basketball down the sidewalk.  He arrived at his house, opened the door and suddenly...



"SURPRISE!"

All of Chester's friends were at his house!  The house was filled with balloons and snacks for many people! It was a party. It was a surprise party.  It was a surprise party for Chester!
