Luckily, Professor Sandsnout put the cat mummy and all those bones back into the sarcophagus. .His talk was over. I sighed with relief. Now I could listen to the next mouse, Professor Miles Magmamouse. Professor Magmamouse lowered the shades and put on a video that explained everything any mouse would want to know about volcanoes, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes.
WHAT AN EXITING LINE OF WORK!
He had seen hundreds of volcanoes and lots of lava in his life.
Suddenly, my job seemed wimpy and BORING.
At some point, Professor Magmamouse asked me to give him a hand with the EXPERIMENT. I listen closely as I didn't want to mess up. I had to look good for Benjamin!
" Geronimo, when I say NOW, put three drops of vinegar into the mouth of the volcano, " Professor Magmamouse told me. "It is important you only put three drops, is that clear?"
At that moment, my nose began to itch. I tried to hold my breath but I couldn't stop myself from sneezing.
"AAAAchoo!"
And that's how I poured the entire bottle of vinegar into the volcano. It erupted, and lava oozed everywhere!!

The Chronicles Of Narnia by C. S. Lewis
Digory kept his mouth very tight shut. He had been growing more and more uncomfortable. He hoped that, whatever happened, he wouldn't blub or do anything ridiculous.
"Son of Adam", said Aslan. "Are you ready to undo the wrong that you have done to my sweet country of Narnia on the very day of its birth?"
"Well I don't see what I can do," said Digory. "You see, the Queen ran away and-"
"I asked are you ready?" said the Lion.
"Yes," said Digory, he had had for a second some wild idea of saying, "I'll try to help you if you promise to help my mother,"but he realized in time that the Lion was not at all the sort of person one could try to bargain with. But when he had said "Yes,"he thought of his Mother, and he thought of the great hopes he had had, and how they were all dying away, and a lump came in his throat and tears in his eyes, and he blurted out:

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Steward
K and C, as it happened, were still in bed. It had been an awful night for Kate. Try as she might, she couldn't forget the look of Milligan's eyes as the Executives and Recruiters paraded him through the cafeteria. She slept poorly, in and out of a doze, constantly worried and miserable, and never once did she have a shred of an idea of what to do.
Now it was almost dawn, time to rise, through rising hardly seemed worth the trouble. Worsening Kate's mood, if that was possible, was a distant, irritating beeping sound, the erratic honking o a far away horn. A car alarm on the main land, or some obnoxious kid fooling around with an air horn. It had been going on for several minutes now. Long honks, short honks, long honks again, on and on.irritating and irritating familiar, like something she was supposed to remember but couldn't. Almost like a code, she thought. Almost like. . .
