Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Max who loved to hide and play. One day, while playing hide and seek with his friends, Max found a cozy spot in the corner of the room and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was dark and quiet. He couldn't find his friends anywhere. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from under the bed. It was the cat who lived in the room! Max quickly hid in a small hole in the wall and closed his eyes tight, pretending to be asleep. The cat eventually left, and Max was able to escape back to his home. From then on, Max always made sure to hide in a safe place before going to sleep.
