Mouse Traps
Ace squinted at box, his mouth open slightly ."Damn it! We have mice in the pantry!" the ten year old cursed. He quickly rummaged through a drawer in the kitchen before pulling out a package of mice traps, he then pulled one out and baited it with some old peanut butter. Ace waited tell his little brother Luffy went to bed to put the trap on the shelf. If he just left it up there, Luffy would find it, and long story short, Luffy would be in agony for the entire night. Ace shuddered at the thought.
"Ace? Whatcha doin'?" Ace froze on the spot. Luffy wandered into the pantry, still not fully awake. "Err… I'm setting up mouse traps" Ace admitted. "You mean your going to kill them?! Ace your mean!" Luffy shouted. "All they want is some food. It's like killing us just because we're doing what we think is right!" Ace thought for a moment. "How about we set up some better traps, not the kind that kills. Just the kind that captures them."
Luffy smiled to show he approved of it. Ace carefully removed the old traps and made a quick shift trap. " This will do until tomorrow morning, so we can get some 'nice' traps at the store. Sound fair?" he asked. Luffy quickly nodded. "Alright then, time for bed!" "Aw! But I'm not tired!" "Do you or do you not want to come with me to the store?" Luffy gasped and shot towards his bedroom. Ace smiled and trotted towards his own room.
