Okay, this is JUST NOT FAIR.  I thought little rats like me were supposed to have FUN , you know?  I want to run around the neighborhood with all my ratty friends, play pawball, drink Hamster Slushies, and PLAY.  But noooooooooooo.  I’m stuck doing YARD WORK.

I tried to tell Emmy that I am too small to work this hard.  For one thing, there’s no way I’m big enough to mow the lawn.  But she says I’m just the perfect size to pull dandelions.

The perfect size?  THE PERFECT SIZE???  (Oh, sorry, was I yelling?)  I’m not yelling at you, believe me.  But just take a look at this picture and see what you think.  That dandelion is bigger than I am!

Emmy says we’re perfectly matched– ol’ Dandy might be taller, but I’m heavier.  Plus I can walk.  Not to mention grab and yank.  So she is betting on me to win this battle.

I’m not so sure.

What do you think?  Is this even FAIR?  Have YOU ever had to do a job that seemed way too big for you?
