Once upon a time, there was a mouse named Chiquita who loved to draw. She always kept her favorite stationery close by. One day, she got so engrossed in her drawing that she didn't notice when a cat snuck up on her. The cat started to annoy Chiquita by trying to play with her drawings, but she was too busy to notice. Chiquita furtively slipped away and ran to the donation center to find a volunteer who could help her get rid of the annoying cat. The volunteer appreciated Chiquita's creative spirit and agreed to help. They set a trap for the cat using some yummy cheese and a piece of paper with a drawing on it. The cat took the bait and was finally relieved of its annoyance. Chiquita thanked the volunteer and left a generous tip at the donation center as a token of her appreciation. From then on, Chiquita was free to draw in peace.
