Tom and Jerry

Story Notes:
A cat and a mouse became
very close to each other. The cat loved the mouse so much that the cat
convinced the mouse to live with him. They needed to prepare for winter. They
bought a pot of fat and decided the safest place to store it was in the church
under the alter because no one would dare steal from a church. The cat decided
that he really wanted some of the fat without the mouse knowing. The cat lied
to the mouse and left the mouse home alone to go get some fat. The cat left and
went to the church. He began licking the fat before he went to the town and
walked on the roofs. He did not return until the evening. The cat told the
mouse that they named his godchild “Top-Off.” The cat again lied to the mouse
about going to be a godfather to another child to go get more fat. When he
returned, he told the mouse that they named the new child “Half-gone.” The cat
again lied to the mouse about another new child. The mouse was skeptical but
agreed to let the cat go. The cat finished off the fat before returning home.
The cat told the mouse the new child’s name was “All-gone.” When winter came,
the mouse needed food, so the cat and mouse went together to the pot. When the
mouse saw it was all gone, the mouse realized what had happened. The mouse was
angry and began to accuse the cat. The cat then ate the mouse. The End.
Story Plan:
For this story, I am
planning on writing a story that plays off of Tom and Jerry. This was one of my
favorite TV shows growing up. I think I will start with Tom and Jerry doing
their normal shenanigans before they get lost in the city. They cannot find
their way home, so they decide to team up to survive. This all goes well until
Jerry realizes that Tom is lying and messing everything up. Then Tom eats Jerry
to end the story. Some of my writing goals will be to stay in the same tense
for the entire story and to use active verbs.
