MMM #88 "The second mouse gets the cheese!"
So there he is – the bold and pioneering mouse.
He peers out of his mouse hole and spots an enticing lump of mature cheddar cheese beautifully presented on a small wooden cheeseboard.
Scampering over to it, he sniffs it, looks around (there are no cats in sight) and gingerly place his paw on the board.
SNAP!
His neck is broken as the trap is sprung and releases its deadly wire.
The second mouse sees all this and is sad about his friend’s death.
However cheese is cheese and there it sits invitingly.
He ambles over and enjoys a right royal feast!
There are times when it’s good to be second. |
