The Mummy

We thought our trip to the museum would be boring, but we were wrong. After we handed our jackets to Caiara at the door, we were led into the museum's kichten. The first things I noticed were the mummy cases against the pit bull. Why mummy cases in the kichten?

While we waited for our guide, Mrs. Tobler told us how the pharaohs always placed a large hamster in their mummy cases to protect them from intruders. Estefany and I got a little red hearing this. There were, after all, 11 mummy cases in the room with us.

Suddenly we heard a running sound coming from inside one of the mummy cases. "Who!" Estefany and I screamed at the same time.

"Nothing to worry about," said Mrs. Tobler calmly. "I'm sure it's just the wind." Just then one of the mummy cases ate open. Out jumped an enormous hamster covered with chips. Just as I was about to run from the room, the hamster threw off the chips and howled, "April Fools!" It was Mrs.Hooper!

We had forgotten that it was April first, but I guess Mrs. Tobler and Mrs.Hooper had not.
