“For example, if a person tattles or does something mean, another person might say: “You rat!” I never tattle, and I’m not mean. Sometimes when the parents of the students first meet me, they ask Miss Krause: “Does he bite?” Miss Krause answers: “Does your dog bite? Would you keep him if he did? No, Sweetie doesn’t bite.” Then she’ll hand me a treat to show them. I stand up on my back feet and wiggle my pink nose. (I have heard people say this is cute, and I’m working hard to impress them.) Then... I take the treat very gently from Miss Krause and I eat it, holding it with my fingers. Another thing people say, if something is dirty and worn, is that the thing is ratty. I am not dirty or worn looking. I have white fur, and I spend a good deal of time grooming it. (Since the fur is mine and since I am a rat, the fur is ratty—but it is also clean and neat.) And if someone has messy hair, people call it a rat’s nest. There you have me: I am a bit messy because I love to chew on things.MoreLessRead More Read Less
