Frisby+22

Mrs. Frisby and the rats of NIMH Pages 1-19 described the horrible sickness of Timothy Frisby. It was a morning in the underground house in the vegetable garden of a farmer named Mr. Fitzgibbon and Mrs. Frisby, the mother of the field mice under the vegetable garden was making breakfast for the children, except for one and that was Timothy still in bed and possibly sick so the the children took Mrs. Frisby into the room and there was Timothy burning hot. He was a little to hot so Mrs. Frisby went to the doctors house Mr. Ages. But unfortunately, Mr. Ages was not home so Mrs. Frisby waited and waited until a little white mouse or Mr. Ages came to the house with a sack of food and Mrs. Frisby told Mr. Ages about Timothy and how he needed medicine, then they went off to the Frisby house. It was a while until Mr. Ages came out off the room and when he did it was just that Timothy had pneumonia.

I think that Mr. Ages medicine for Timothy will work and he will be just like the other mice and then another rat will get sick and they will have to get more medicine. I also think in the next chapter Mr. Fitzgibbon's cat will get chased by a crow because the next chapter is called The Crow and the Cat. I am wondering, Are the cats important in the story? How many mice live in the Frisby house? Does the cats know about the rats in the garden? Also, at the end of chapter 2, Mr. Ages said that Timothy may have a few side effects, I wonder if that is the main topic of the story.
