The little grey mouse that lived in my wall prospered for many days on nibbles of my lunch. I'd

pack a meal before bed and, while I slept, he would take small bites of my lunch, which I left on

the counter. He'd take a cracker crumble here, and a bread crumb there, but he wouldn't take too

much and he'd always clean up after himself. Things were going quite well for him and I didn't

even know he existed, until he got sloppy. One night while I slept, he ate all of my chips and left

behind a big mess. When I awoke to this sight, I knew what had happened to my chips. So the

next night when he returned for another snack, he found a nice, delicious piece of cheese ...

lightly balanced on a mouse trap. Now I don't have to share my chips anymore.

    I believe the theme is that greediness does not pay.

    Explanation:

    According to the narrator, as long as the little grey mouse was respecting his food and space, everything was going well. But when the mouse became too greedy, when he not only ate all the food but also left a mess behind, the narrator decided to not put up with it. The mouse ends up caught in trap set by the narrator. If the mouse hadn't become greedy, he would have continued to live peacefully, easily, and freely.
