If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll want a glass of milk. If you give him a glass of milk, he's sure to want a straw. Then he'll want to look in a mirror to be sure he doesn't have a milk mustache. And before you know it, he'll be washing the floors, drawing pictures with your crayons and taking a nap. And after all that, well, he'll probably want another cookie...
