Is It Dead?

Princess Xuehua had no idea what was happening, but she felt a weight on her foot. Just when she looked down in confusion, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

She saw a plump mouse lying on her feet. As soon as the rat noticed her gaze, it lifted its front paw in a gesture of greeting and then scurried into her pants.

"Ahhh!"

The scream, now in a different pitch, almost blew off the roof. Princess Xuehua could clearly feel the plump mouse crawling up her leg. 

"Help, help, ahhh!" Princess Xuehua was frightened like a wild monkey with its butt on fire. She jumped up three feet high, almost crawling and howling as she dashed out. As she ran, she vigorously writhed her body, shouting, "There's a mouse! Help me take it out, quickly, take it out!"
