Nick and Maxine told Mrs. Noodlekugel their names.

The mice scampered up the tablecloth and sat in a row at the edge of the table.

Nick and Maxine helped Mrs. Noodlekugel measure flour, molasses, butter and ground ginger

Mix it well! Mix it well! Now it’s time to roll out the dough.

Now the mice will lie down on the cookie dough.

Mr Fuzzface sat at the piano.

Now would you like tea with your gingerblobs?
