Setting: in the small house and the small yard, a week before Catalina’s birthday

Plot: the old woman didn’t filled the piñata


The story <Mice and Beans wri tten> by Pam Muñoz Ryan talks about an old person that lived in a tiny house with a tiny yard, but she didn’t care, what she thinks is the most important is there has to be no mouse. Next Saturday is her grandchildren’s birthday, she lists all she needs to do. On Saturday, list the list, and find no mousetrap, and Monday she does something on the list and she doesn’t see the mousetrap, and Tuesday and Wednesday ……she also doesn’t find the mousetrap. And when it is her grandchildren birthday, they are very happy, and the old woman doesn’t filled the piñata, and the mouse helps her, but she doesn’t know that, and she thinks mice is bad, and when that are going to beat the piñata, and then, there are many candy, at last, she find it is the mouse, and after this thing, she likes the mouse and never sets a mousetrap again.



We need to be very helpful, and then people will let others do something, and give us a chance to do something we want to do and the people will be all very happy for others. If the person very much needs water, and if we give the person, then, the person will like us, and help us when we are in problem, the person will help us too, but if we didn’t give him, but we have a lot, then, the person will think us are bad. In the story, the mouse needs food to be alive, and a good room that is not cold, not hot, and Pam Muñoz has a problem, but she doesn’t know, and the mouse helps her, first, the old man that owns a tiny house and a tiny yard. doesn’t like mice, but now, she likes it, and gives the mice what they need. In the story, the mice help the old woman who at first doesn’t like the mice and at last likes the mice. If we want to be like, then

we need to be helpful.



We can’t judge the thing, or people, or something else by seeing it cover or hearing other people who are starting a rumor and making others believe it, we need to learn and experience by ourselves to find whether these people are good or bad. If we see a person that is very good, but it is not very beautiful, if we look at her face and body, then we will think the person is very bad, and we didn’t want to make friends with her.

But if we experience and learn it makes us a very good person, and we make friends with it, and we’ll be very good. In the story, the mouse is very good, but Rosa Maria thinks the mouse is bad at first, but when she forgets to fill the piñata, the mouse helps her to fill it, and at last, she thinks the mouse is good. Rosa Maria experiences and learns the mouse, and at last, she thinks the mouse is good. We can’t judge something with that what it looks like.



We need to thank them when they have helped us, that will make us very polite, and then, they want to help you the next time, or do something you want for you, and then, we and them will all be very happy at the time, and want to be each other's friend. If we didn’t help, then, others will think we are very bad, and they didn’t want to help you the next time, and if we very need the thing, that will be not good. And if we are polite, then others want to help us and then we and they can be friends, and then we can help others to give the world hearts. In the story, the granddaughter, Little Catalina hugs the old woman who owns a little house and a little yard, and the old woman smiles, she is happy, and the Little Catalina is very happy too. The old woman helps Catalina, and they are both happy. If we want to be helped next time, we have to thank the person that helps you.



In conclusion, this story is very good, it uses a story about an old woman that is going to have a party in her small house with a small yard, and she does something for the party, and she forget to fill the piñata, but the mouse helps her, and when the party is going very good ……and this story tells us We need to be very helpful, and then people will let others do something, and give us a chance to do something we want to do and the people will be all very happy. The characters in the stories that the genres are Fantasy or Fiction ……that is not writing a true thing that is very different from real life. That is making the story very interesting. We need to thank them when they have helped us, that will make us very polite. And the author also use some writing skills to make the passage interesting like use different sentence just to tell one thing…… I like this story very much.
