What is the first word that comes to mind when you think of a rat? Gross? Nasty? Pest? Some people have rats as pets, so they can’t be all that bad. To farmers, like Andrea Davis, rats can be pests that need to be controlled or eliminated.

Andrea was tending to chores around her farm one day when she heard some odd noises coming from a water bucket. She hesitantly approached the bucket and peered inside.

A rat had fallen into the bucket and was desperately trying to get out! One look at the panicking rat and Andrea knew she had to help the poor creature.
