Robby and Jeanine live in an old farm house (175 years old. Built in 1832.) on Turkey Creek Road in Jamaica, Vermont. The house is nice but they got mice.
(see mouses below)
Mice can be a problem. They eat stuff, like shoes or boxes of food or other stuff. They also carry germs and make poops all over the place. 
How would you like open a box of Oat Bran or Rice Puffs or Corn Flakes and find mouse poops in it?
Mouses or mice or mices are a kind of Varmint. “"Varmint" is an American English colloquialism. The term applies to foxes, coyotes, burrowing animals, rats, mice, and cockroaches and other stuff.

Luckily, Robby and Jeanine’s ancestors were ferocious hunters. So they knew what to do.
Robby’s Great-great-great grandfather, (“Shlomo the Scruncher”) was a renowned Mouse Scruncher in Eastern Poland (which may have been Russia or something else at the time.)

Jeanine’s ancestors came from Canada. Some were famous mouse trappers. They collected pelts. One ancestor holds the record for trapping a 43 pound mouse. 
So, they got mouse traps. The mouse trap was invented by Murray. No-one knows his last name because he became very rich and everybody called him Murray-Mouse-Trap. (Hyphenated names were popular at the time.)
They put peanut butter or cheese in the mouse traps to attract the mice. Mice like cheese and peanut butter (especially the crunchy kind). It is bad to smell like cheese or crunchy peanut butter if are near mice.
The State Bird of Vermont is the Hermit Thrush. I thought it was the Turkey.
It is good that you live on the 8th floor at 2 Horatio Street because mice don’t like to climb a lot of stairs especially since one elevator doesn’t work.
One day you and Mommy and Daddy will go to Vermont to visit Cousins Jeanine and Robby. But remember, make sure you don’t smell like cheese or crunchy peanut butter.

One trail had an ancient Indian carving in wood. What does it mean?
You must be careful in the woods. If you hear or see an animal, the animals can probably see and hear you too. And they smell you also.
Some animals are not very nice. Mostly, you should avoid wild animals. Skunks smell bad. Toads can give you warts. Bears are big and furry with a lot of teeth and claws. Bears can run very fast, climb trees and sometimes eat people.
If you go hiking in the woods it is good to take pots and pans. If you see hear or hear a bear, you can bang two pots or pans together. It makes a clanging noise that bears don’t like. 
And you probably won’t have to worry much about giraffes. If you do meet a giraffe, it is good to have figs. Giraffes like figs. 
This week, I went back to the lake. There were not a lot of ducks. Ducks were missing. Also, no Chinese People. What happened to the ducks? I worried about the ducks.
The next day I was in Chinatown on Canal Street. I saw a terrible thing. 
There was a menu in the window of a Chinese Restaurant. The menu was eight pages long. On page 3 they listed Peking Duck.
That is wrong! The monkey didn’t anything. The monkey is innocent. He is the abductee, not the abductor. 
Some monkeys are cute cute but they smell bad. If your Mommy and Daddy get you a monkey, the should also get Airwick.
Poop is one of those confusing words. Poop can mean a lot of things. It can be a verb, like to poop. Or it can be a thing, like a doo-doo. Or if you get tired you can be pooped. That doesn’t mean you get poop on you, it means you are tired. Do you know that they call part of a sailing boat the poop deck? (Not the poop dreck.) Ask your Mommy and Daddy, “Why?” 
Also … poop has a special websites.
