49'er Story: Mystic Mouse and Calamity Cat

______________________________________________________

This one's easy, only two criteria:

1. 7 lines/7 words each line, for a total of 49 words (contractions count as one word).

2. The last line brings the story full circle, perhaps with a twist or change in the power structure between two characters or character and important personal quest.
Now, let's try one, perhaps a children's story (also posted on twitter):

Line 1: Mystic Mouse played tricks on Calamity Cat.

Line 2: Calamity Cat thought he was Swiss Cheese.

Line 3: EEK! You're full of holes," Mystic said.

Line 4: "So I am!" exclaimed poor frizzled kitty.

Line 5: "What's to be done? I'm yucky cheese!"

Line 6: "I'll fix you up," said Mystic, "Abracadabra!"

Line 7: Calamity Codfish hoovered Mystic Mouse whole: "BURP!"
Ten 49'er blocks could be developed into a child's picture book.
