Andrew - a very brave boy . He was not afraid ti ¬ gras, nor thunder , nor even a vacuum cleaner . ( What he did not fear ?) He feared only guests - rather, he embarrassed them ! And when guests come to their home, he did not say hello to them , not talking , and hid under the bed ( as it still embarrassed ¬ Xia ?) Or closed his eyes and pretended to be anything inde ¬ Metn - mop , a nightstand , a bicycle . Guests were very surprised and started to look for him loudly : "Where is Andrew sha ¬ ? We do not see it ! Where is the boy ? And from there took a nightstand ? "
And once, when they came to visit, Andrew suddenly pre ¬ gates to the mouse ! Saw a hole and rushed to her with all speed - hide. But there it was - to the same burrow vpri ¬ jump ran another mouse . Andrew faced with little mouse heads together at the entrance of the burrow . First, both studies ¬ frightened , and then rejoiced and friends.
- I ran away from the cat ! - Mouse squeaked . - It Hoth ¬ la catch me and eat ! And you 're hiding from someone ?
- I'm from the guests, they come here now , - whispered An ¬ Dryusha . - I 'm afraid of them !
- Who are the guests ? They are very scary ? They also want to eat you ? - Asked, frightened mouse .
- No, you , - said Andrei . - They do not eat boys . They want me to say hello !
- How is it? - Shook with terror mouse . - How is this ¬ hello ?
And shouted into the hole , " Mice , rescues, guests are coming! Who will say hello ! "
Mouse burrow swept up in horror squeaked :
- Oh, we are lost! Terrible guests with us now the Late ¬ Rowan ! Woe to us , woe !
They hid each other out , turning a blind eye , climbed under the bed (again , like a child hesitates ) .
Andriusha first became ridiculous as mice guests bo ¬ yatsya stupid coward , trifle with a tail ! And then he was ashamed - he himself is hidden from guests , as if they can eat it .
- No, they are not terrible - he tried to reassure us ¬ necks. - They even very, very good , do not be afraid - but the mouse did not believe . - Well, like, I 'll go to them now , in hello , and nothing will happen to me ! Honestly, honestly ! And then we drink tea with them will . With a cake !
- And you treated me with the crumbs from the cake ? - The interested ¬ meddle mouse .

Andrew again turned to the boy and the Late bravely ¬ strated with guests :
- Hello!
A mink looked at him all the mice and wondered what a brave boy .
Guests also surprised that Andrew them no more shy. And happy. And all went together to drink tea with cake crumbs . Oh , no, not with crumbs , and with cake ! Crumbs Andrew took the mice burrow !
A little mouse all boasted :
