Science Expo as a Rat

As I hobble into this wretched building, I can see these gigantic pieces of work from the big school children, all a very different style than each other. It’s called a “Science Expo”, where the kids show their science work they have been doing. 

All I can do is squeak and crawl around. I don’t know a lot about science, but I do know that humans are much better at it than me. They can make these massive things that show what they learnt, I have no idea how!

Science is that thing that you do, its chemicals sometimes, or other things (I don’t know, I’m a rat). I looked around a lot, there was a big variety of things there, so many things, like one about Greece, and one about how oil and water don’t mix! I may be a rat, but I sure do like learning about science. 


There were a lot of different set ups, but my favourite had to be the volcanos! They were massive, and they looked cool! Some of the volcanoes were snowy, and some were very grassy, and they were all laid out on a mat which showed where they would actually be outside! 

I heard there was going to be a volcano eruption at 3, so I decided to go and find a hiding spot, so I could watch. They were setting up for the eruption, so I got into my hiding spot and prepared myself. 10 minutes later, they were staring. All of a sudden I heard “3, 2, 1” and a massive BOOM sounded, and all at the same time, all of the volcanoes went off! It was amazing.

I can smell a yummy smell, like apricot.. or something. I found the source of the smell! Someone left a jar of marmalade open, so I am going to eat it. Ohhhh my gosh, my tummy hurts sooo much. I may have eaten too much marmalade. Someone came and shooed me out, because they saw me, but I saw a tall lady getting into her car, so I snuck in and hid in her car.

The lady arrived at what I am guessing was her house, I quietly followed her inside and the smell was amazing! Like someone was cooking me a buffet! Mmmm mmmm. Oops, the lady saw me.. she screamed super loud and her husband was trying to catch me! Some big, tall kids were there, and they were screaming almost as loud as their mother! 

I am on the road, alone. I should have not eaten that marmalade, or I should have hidden myself better when I snuck into that tall lady’s house! I guess I’m a street rat now. I wish that I was back at that school, watching the science expo!
