It was a busy day at the office the telephones would'nt stop ringing!
"Hello?" I answered my desk phone.
" Mr. Stilton? It's Mizzy Mouserson. Remember me?"
"Yes?"I answered my cellphone
" Stilton, it's Andrew Whitetail. About the manuscript..."
On top of the phone calls, every few minutes someone entered my office and i lost my TRAIN of thought. Oh, excuse me! I haven't introduced myself. My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton, and i am the publisher of The Rodent's Gazette,, the most famouse newspaper on Mouse Island.
So, I was in my office when an enormouse package entered the room. A familiar snout poked out from behind it.
"Happy birthday, Stilton!"a voice shouted.
It was my friend Hercule Poirat, then famouse detective.
"Birthday?" I repeated. "But today isn't my birthday!"
"Oh, well,"Hercule replied as he place the package on my desk. "You should take a day off anyway !"
"Oh, I can't,"I told him. "I have a LOT to do today."
Hercule got closer to my desk.
"Yes, i see that," he said. "You're always here working. You should get out more! A change would be good for you. Come with me to my office."
My whiskers trembled at just the thought of the flea-infested shack Hercule called his office. He is a complete SLOB, snd his office is a total disaster area!
"I'm sorry, I can't,"I told him quickly.
"I really have to finish this article."
Hercule sighed. "All right, Stilton. I'll go. But first open the gift I got you. Aren't you even a little curious about what's inside?"
