Once upon a time, there was a curious little mouse named Max who lived in a cozy kitchen. One day, Max had an idea to explore the house, so he squeezed himself through a tiny hole in the cupboard and started his adventure. He stumbled upon a bedroom and saw a big, soft bed with a pillow and blanket. "This looks like the perfect place to take a nap," he thought. But as he tried to settle in, the rug underneath him started to move! "Who are you?" asked a surprised Max. The rug introduced itself as Ruggie and said, "I’m tired of being stepped on all day, so I decided to take a break and go on an adventure too." Max and Ruggie became fast friends and continued their exploration. They climbed up a tall shelf and found a bin filled with yummy treats. They munched on some food and cuddled up together under the blanket. From that day on, Max and Ruggie had many more adventures, always ending up back in the cozy bed for a good night's sleep.
