1 Moose found the mysterious thing-a-ma-jig sitting beside a stump in the meadow. He looked closer. Moose moved his magnificent antlers up and down. He moved them back and forth.
2 "It's magic," said Moose. "I have never seen anything like it." Minutes later, Mouse appeared near the stump.
3 "What's magic?" asked Mouse.
4 "I think this mysterious thing-a-ma-jig is magic," answered Moose.
5 Mouse crept up to the stump to take a peek. She took one look and made a face. She peeked at it again, and then she jumped down. "Amazing," said Mouse. Magnificent! It is quite marvelous. What is it?" asked Mouse.
6 "I wish I knew," answered Moose. "Let's ask Mole. He sees things quite differently." Mouse and Moose called down to Mole.
7 "Hello, Mole! Come and see what we have found!" they shouted. Mole put on his glasses and peeked out of his hole.
8 "What is it?" asked Mole.
9 "Come up and see it, Mole. It's a...a...thing-a-ma-jig," stammered Moose. "We wanted you to take a look. We don't know what it is. It is a mystery."
