THE MITTEN

The story begins when he wants a new pair of white mittens. He grandmother tells him he will lose one in the snow, but she makes them for him anyway. The little boy goes out and climbs a tree and looses one of his mittens; just like his grandmother had warned him. A mole came and crawled in the mitten and then a rabbit. Then a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox, a bear, and a mouse climbed into the mitten. The animals all made room for the other animals because each was bigger and more dangerous. Then the bear sneezed and the mitten flew up in the air and all the animals fell out. The little boy spotted his mitten in the air and went and grabbed it. His grandmother checked to make sure he still had both pairs of his mittens. Little did she know he actually lost it and found it again.

As the story continues you can see which animal is going to come into the mitten next. It shows that little boys will lose things they should not and will get lucky and find them before they get in trouble.
