Summary Chapters 20/21/22

Mrs. Frisby and the rats made a plan to move Mrs. Frisby’s house at 11:00pm, before they did Mrs. Frisby got to see the workers cave. Mrs. Frisby thought that the workers cave was one half her house. Inside the cave Mrs. Frisby thought hat the work area was at least twenty feet by twenty feet. They had saws, hammers, and even belts to move things on. They were building their own plow because they didn’t want to steel anymore. The plow would need eight rats to pull it. They would plant their own soybeans, barley, and corn. They left the Boniface Estate on the first of May. They had been living in the Estate for eight months, while they were there they had plenty of time to read, Nicodemus’ favorite thing to read about was history. Nicodemus also found out that rats were the most hated animals and that they were hated because they bit children, (NOT TRUE!!) Nicodemus had never bitten a child, he would never do that. One day the rats were scattering in the woods and found a dead man, he was a toy tinker. The rats buried the man. Now here’s why the rats were in the woods, In the Estate the rats found a map. On the map there was a wild life preserve (which is also where the are in the woods) and in the wild life preserve they found a little farm. That is the farm that they live on. But, the little old man that they buried wasn’t supposed to be there so he hid his truck. The rats found it. The truck had cots, toys, lamps, food mini tools, etc. This was the beginning of a new life. The rats never wanted to steel but they were steeling more than ever so that they could move to thorn valley. Thorn valley had NO humans! To move to thorn valley it would toke three years to plan.
