"Ugh!" Sid said.
"The rat's hole!
We built our fort over it."
Squeak! Squeak!
Rex held his ears.
"The rat is loud!"
Tor took out her ball.
She covered the hole with it.
"Good!" Sara said.
"Now we can't hear the rat!"
Pow! The rat hit the ball.
Sara caught it.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
"Catch, Tor!" Sara threw the ball.
Tor caught it.
She covered the hole again.
Pow! The ball flew again.
This time Rex caught it.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
Tor groaned.
"This rat is too noisy!"
"Is the rat mad?" Sid asked.
"I think so!" Sara said.
"Hmm." Rex peeked in the hole.
Rex gasped.
The rat was smiling!
Rex laughed. "The rat just wants to play!"
Rex put the ball over the hole.
Pow!
