The rats of Sewerville

Once there was a rat living under Mrs. Leech's bed. Mrs. Leech was a little blind and she was always sewing so she never noticed the rat running around the house. The rat's name was Fatty and he always took food from the pantry at 8 'o' clock at night and in the morning.

He would grab a chicken leg (or any animal leg there was), an ant infested jelly (Mrs. Leech always receives jelly everyday. She hates jelly so she never eats any), a pinch of salt and a little capful of whatever drink thats there.

Then he would drag it under the bed and chomp them down. Then he would get very stuffed and would barf it all out. When he barfed it out he would feel hungry again so he would eat the lumpy substance and pat his stomach. He loved to eat.

Even though Fatty was very greedy, he was very neat. He cleaned up his messes and threw away the chicken bones (or whatever animal he ate's bones) The problem is that Fatty was extremely smelly. He never cleaned himself; he used his body to wipe the floor.

Fatty was also the most popular rat in Sewerville, where Mrs. Leech lived. Every house in the small village of Sewerville lived a lady who loved to sew even with bad eyesight and a rat. The town was filled with rats and sewing women. That was how Sewerville got its name.

Fatty had many friends. His best friends were Lollie and Stinky. Lollie was the smallest rat in Sewerville and Stinky was the cleanest. Rats hate the smell of flowers and pretty things. Stinky bathed in 'Sally's floral flavour shampoo'. It repulsed the rats in Sewerville.

Now there was a rat in Sewerville that everybody listened to. She was the leader. Her name was RLOAR which stood for Rat Leader Of All Rats. Rloar was mean and hard, but everyone listened to her because her younger brothers were gangsters. They adored their sister.

Rloar lived in the biggest house in Sewerville with the mayor of Sewerville. The mayor of Sewerville was the nicest lady in Sewerville. She gave all the ladies in Sewerville a jelly everyday. Everyone respected her and loved her very much.

One day, Fatty, Lollie, and Stinky went for a walk. Fatty and Lollie looked through the rubbish while Stinky licked his paws. They brought out some banana skins, a chocolate bar (from one of the ladies grandsons), and an amazing green thing.

The rats didn't know what it was, but it was very delicious. It was crunchy in some places and soft and thin in other places. It was a bitterish but plainish and it tasted delicious. Rloar came up behind them and the rats quickly jumped down and bent their heads down low.

Rloar nodded and waited for them to put their heads up. They didn't. They didn't see her nod so they remained in their position. "Lift your heads, you silly rats!" They obeyed and Rloar spotted a bit of the green stuff sticking out of Fatty's mouth. "What are you eating?" Rloar asked.

"Umm.. We don't know." Lollie said, her cheeks turning a little pink. Rloar squinted at her. "I wasn't talking to you." Rloar said rudely. Lollie blushed again and nodded. Fatty spoke up. "We just found it in the bins." Rloar looked at Fatty, suspicious.

"Get some for me, Stinky." Rloar ordered. Stinky's eyes grew wide. He hated the bins. They were too dirty. "I just had a bath--" Fatty jumped up. "I'll get it." he said. Rloar glared at Stinky. "I asked you to get it, you fart lard!" Stinky trembled. Rloar pointed to Stinky and her brothers came.

They grabbed Stinky by his legs and threw him into the bins. Stinky let out a bloodcurdling scream. Rloar and her brothers laughed loudly. Fatty quickly threw them the green food. They lunged for it and scampered away. Fatty pushed poor Stinky off the bins and he fell with a thud.

He whimpered and ran home. Lollie shrugged and ran off, calling goodbye. Fatty sighed and went home. Then he went through the pantry and looked for some of the delicious green stuff. He found some and stuffed himself. Then he went under the bed and fell asleep.

That night, Mrs. Leech decided to cook dinner for herself and for two of her neighbours. She looked through the pantry and gave a shout of startled surprise. All her vegetables were gone!
