MOUSE: “It’s terribly kind of you, fox, but no – I’m going to have lunch with a gruffalo.”
FOX:“A gruffalo? What’s a gruffalo?”

Just walk behind me and soon you’ll see, Everyone is afraid of me!”
GRUFFALO:“All right,” said the Gruffalo, bursting with laughter.
“You go ahead and I’ll follow after!”
They walked and they walked and the Gruffalo said,
“I hear a hiss in the leaves ahead.”
MOUSE:“It’s snake,”said the mouse“Why, Snake, hello!”
Snake took one look at the Gruffalo.
SNAKE:“Oh crumbs!” he said,“Goodbye little mouse,”
And off he slid to his logpile house.

OWL:“Oh dear!” he said,“Goodbye, little mouse,”
And off he flew to his treetop house
MOUSE:“You see?” said the mouse.“I told you so.”
GRUFFALO:“Astounding!” said the Gruffalo.
They walked some more till the Gruffallo said,
GRUFFALO:“I can hear feet on the path ahead.”
MOUSE: “It’s Fox,” said the mouse.“Why, Fox, hello!”
Fox took one look at the Gruffalo.
FOX: “Oh help!”he said,“Goodbye little mouse,”
and off he ran to his underground house.
MOUSE:“Well, Gruffalo,”said the mouse.“You see? EVERYONE is afraid of me!
But now my tummy’s beginning to rumble .MY favorite food is Gruffalo crumble!”
