Three Good and True Rat Stories

All three of these are true; I couldn’t have made them up. I was an eye witness to all three and even ate some of number three. If you are a little queasy, you might want to read these accounts a bit later when your system has settled down. Rat Story #1 ocurred recently after we had constructed our house in rural Veracruz.
