🚲 Benny and the Boring Day That Wasn’t 🎉

   Benny the mouse pressed his nose against the toy store window, eyes wide. There it was—a  shiny blue bicycle  with streamers on the handlebars and a bell that looked like it could sing. “I  need  that bike,” Benny whispered. Mr. Mouse, his dad, didn’t even glance at it. “Bicycles are silly,” he said. “Come on, we’ve got shopping to do.” Benny sighed. “Shopping is  so  boring.” Mr. Mouse chuckled. “Maybe it’s more exciting than it seems.” At the greengrocer’s, while Mr. Mouse picked apples and carrots, Benny spotted something strange: The shopkeeper was juggling fruit— three apples and two oranges, flying through the air! “Dad!
