Steve grabbed a strawberry with his paws and began to nibble.
"Om nom nom n--"
He jerked his head up, alert. Sally had entered the kitchen, although she was distracted with washing dishes for the moment. Steve carefully picked up the strawberry in his mouth and raced back for his house, where he quickly snarfed down the rest of the strawberry. Tasty. But then it occurred to Steve.
"What about dinner?"
So, back he went to the kitchen.
Steve repeated the process of running up the tablecloth and gathering the strawberries until he ran out of room in his house. He was rather quick at this, and Sally never noticed. Until she turned around and discovered that the plate of strawberries was empty and a mouse was currently chasing one across the floor to a hole in the wall.
Sally screamed and fainted, causing a small earthquake that caused Steve to fall over, accidentally kicking the strawberry underneath the fridge. "Drat!" He squeaked, but at the moment he was more concerned about what would happen when the fancy family found their maid in a dead faint on the fancy floor in the fancy kitchen.
