Seven Dead Rats.
Mrs. Frisby gets put in a bird cage and is over the dinner table. Then Mr. Fitzgibbon returns home to eat his dinner. While Mrs. Frisby is trying to get out of the bird cage she stopped when she heard Mr. Fitzgibbon begin to talk. He was saying that he had heard about how seven rats had died that day in a toy store near an electric motor. People have said that the rats were trying to climb over the motor. Then other people found teeth marks in the cable cord where the rats had apparently been gnawing on the cable cords.
