Ricky the rat is excited. Tonight he is going to a Rolling Stones concert. He’s going to the concert with his mother, Rhonda the rat. His mother has been to three Rolling Stones concerts. So she knows it will be like a walk down memory lane. Ricky and his mother have a ball at the concert. After it is over, they decide to try to meet Mick Jagger, the singer of the band. They know that the band is staying at the Holiday Inn. So they drive to the hotel to try to find them. When they get to the hotel room, they knock on the door. A security guard answers the door but he will not let them in. “Sorry, no rats allowed inside,” says the security guard. “I think we will have to pay him off,” says Ricky’s mom. So she gives the security guard $200 to let them in. When he sees Mick Jagger, Ricky says, “Jeez, Mick, hand’s down, that was the best concert that I have ever seen.” “Thank you very much,” Mick says. “You really make me feel at home.” Ricky’s mother gets a shot of Mick Jagger and Ricky shaking hands. “I’ll never forget this day,” Ricky says. *

I was excited. Last year I went to a Rolling Stones concert. I went to the concert with my mother, Rhonda the rat. My mother had been to three Rolling Stones concerts many years ago. So she knew it was going to be like a walk down memory lane. My mother and I had a ball at the concert. After it was over, we decided to try to meet Mick Jagger, the singer of the band. We knew that the band was staying at the Holiday Inn. So we drove to the hotel to try to find them.
