Mildred the mouse awoke one day with a horrible cough. She immediately went downstairs to make herself some tea, coughing with every step. When she took a sip of her tea, she coughed again, spilling the tea everywhere.
She had to get rid of this cough, so she tried everything she could think of. Jumping jacks didn't work. Gargling apple juice didn't work. Hanging upside down like a possum didn't work. Nothing worked to get rid of her cough!
Just when Mildred was about to give up hope, she felt a buzzing in her throat.
"That must be what is causing my -- cough!" she exclaimed. Then she had an idea. She ran to Irene Iguana's house and without explanation asked her to tickle her neck.
"Gladly!" Irene replied.
Irene ran to the back room then returned with a large goose feather. She aggressively brushed the feather against Mildred's neck, who immediately began convulsing in laughter. The convulsing shook her larynx so hard that it shook the fly that was stuck inside loose.
The fly buzzed its way outside, and Mildred and Irene sighed in relief.
"Now I can finally get on with my day!" Mildred said. "Thanks for helping me, Irene!"
"Anytime, that was fun!" Irene said. "I'm always happy to help a friend remove a fly from their larynx!"
The two friends waved goodbye and continued on with their day, free from coughing and tickling.
