Rusty the Alley Explorer

Rusty the rat scampers along a stone-covered alley, his bright eyes peeking out as he sniffs the cool morning air. Three big trash cans tower nearby—silver lids shut tight—with just a hint of last night’s crumbly treasures hidden inside. Rusty's round belly brushes the bumpy ground while his thin tail curls behind, ready for any quick dash.

Tall brick walls stretch up on both sides, pipes and tiny windows making patterns in the city’s secret maze. Rusty’s fuzzy fur looks soft enough for a gentle pat, but right now all his attention stays on every scent and sound that fills the alley. A new day awaits, and this curious rat never misses a thing!

Fun Fact!

Rats are very quick learners when it comes to escaping or avoiding things they don't like.
