The book starts with one rat and one piece of cheese. Rat Law says Rat 1 gets to keep it unless a bigger, or stronger, or scary, (and so on) rat wants it. You know what this leads to… a riot. Then, when Rat 1 finally gets back the cheese, something shocking happens. Rat 1 asks, “Would anybody else want some?” the answer is even more shocking. “Yes, Please.” You can guess the moral to this story. I didn’t! A shockingly good ending.
