We finally killed the mouse...

A few days ago my mum heard some weird noises - she was not sure exactly where, but probably somewhere around the kitchen area. She told my dad that these noises probably were caused by a mouse inside the house... After some investigations my folks found some mouse droppings beneath the sink unit... Therefore, my dad bought a mousetrap! They fastened a piece of cheese to this trap and they were pretty sure they would catch and kill the little bastard. The next day the cheese was gone, but there was no mouse in the trap....... Hmmm, this must be a smart little animal... Maybe some ham would do the job???? Nope, the mouse was smarter than my humans one more time............................... The third day they fastened a small piece of pepperoni to the mousetrap, and this time my folks could celebrate that they actually were smarter than the mouse....

How intelligent are really mum and dad? What if this was a really stupid mouse....????
