This story is a brand new one for the Story Teller magazine project, written by Wendy Eyton, illustrated by Lyn Duncombe, and originally read by Eve Karpf.
It’s the story of a mouse falling from the claws of an owl unto a bag of seeds, and then from the branch to the snow when he runs into a misfortune with a cat.
The mouse tunnels under the snow in order to escape the cat, and is quite content with his accommodation, but both the cat and the owl remains lurking for the mouse, waiting for him to come out from the snow and eat him.
The situation drags until two children come out of the house and they start throwing each other snowballs. One of the snowballs, however, has Mouse in it.
The poor thing finds himself thrown in the air and wakes up next to a big piece of cheese.
“Well! I have seen the world, today, and no mistake. I jave seen white woods, white fields and the white roofs of house. I have eaten nuts in the air and made a tunnel under the snow. I have travelled far by Owl and snowball, and soon it’ll be time to find a gole in the wall and go to sleep. But first, I will have a really good supper”.
