Flea's Clever Caper

Flea was a small, quick-witted mouse who lived in the bustling city of Cheeseville. He worked as a delivery mouse, zipping through the streets on his tiny scooter, carrying little packages for all sorts of different cheese merchants. Some of them, like Mr. Brie, were kind and jovial, always offering Flea a nibble of something tasty. Others, like the grumpy Mr. Gouda, were much less friendly. One day, Flea started noticing that Mr. Brie and Mr. Gouda seemed to be always arguing. It made him sad because Flea wanted all the cheese merchants to get along and be happy. He also noticed that their disagreements always seemed to happen right after he delivered packages from one to another. This made Flea curious. One sunny afternoon, Flea had a delivery from Mr. Brie to Mr. Gouda. He decided to peek inside the package. Instead of cheese, he found a tiny note with a picture of a grumpy cat! Flea realized that someone was trying to make the merchants angry with each other and decided to stop this naughty behavior. Flea then devised a plan. The next time he had a package for Mr. Gouda from Mr. Brie, he switched the note in it with a drawing of two happy mice playing together. He did this with the next delivery too, swapping a mean note for a drawing of cheese wheels laughing. Slowly, the merchants' anger started to disappear! They started smiling and talking to each other again. It turns out a sneaky weasel was trying to steal the merchants' business by making them fight. With his clever substitutions, Flea had not only made the merchants happy again, but he also exposed the weasel's plan. The weasel was caught and all the cheese merchants rejoiced, giving Flea a mountain of his favorite cheese as thanks. From then on, Flea wasn't just the fastest delivery mouse in Cheeseville, he was also known as the bravest and the cleverest.
