In the morning, Zaza Duppon wondered about the diamond. How could it be at the table since the thieves had stolen it from her on last night. She thought about it again and again, but she still did not find the answer.

Next day, Zaza story is in all the newspapers, and there are a lot of her photos with the diamond every where. She looked very happy in all of them. Marcel was happy too. Back on his boat he read the newspaper stories. The he looked at the mirror, there was a thin red line on his neck.  After that, he washed, had breakfast and opened the window. That was beautiful warm morning.  He looked up at the blue sky and smiled. He thought about what’s going to be at that day.

I completely like this story. Actually I really do not like mice. They are dirty and disgusting. But, Marcel is different. He is kind and smart. He also clean and nice. I hope all of the mice could be like Marcel.
