"N ow 1 wonder w h at's tlie u se o f
th a t? "
H e w as a brav e little w hite m ouse,
so he hu rried to find out what th e big
brown thing w as, fo r he had nev er
been insid e a house. L uckily fo r him
th e re w as no dog and no ca t in the
house, fo r he q u ite fo rg ot to be c a r e ­
ful. Ia fro n t o f th e big brown house
th e re w as a big hole, which w as a
door, although he did not know it was
a door. B u t he knew th at holes could
be gone through, so In he went.
In sid e th e big brown house th e re
lived a fam ily o f very w ell-behaved
m ice, brown, a ll o f them , who never
m ade a noise in th e w alls at nigh t or
nibbled th e lo av es o f bread in the
pautry.
T h ey w ere alw ays on the w atch fo r
w hat w as going on In the big house
and so It happened they saw th e w hite
m ouse Ju st us he cain e In th e door
and they n early tum bled over th em ­
selv es In th e ir aston ish m en t, fo r they
had n ev er b e fo re seen a w hite m ouse.
T h e brown m ice crowded to the
edge o f the m ousehole. (H-ering a t th e
w hite mouse and I exp ect they fe lt
very much th e way th e poor Ind ians
did when they saw a w hite m an fo r
th e first tim e.
At la s t one o f th e brav est o f them
s a id : " I am going to speak to him,
he h as w h isk ers Ju s t lik e ours and a
ta ll Ju s t lik e o u rs und eyes ju s t like
o u r s ; m aybe he fe ll In the m ilk pan
and could not get it w ashed off.”
“I don't b eliev e th a t,” said th e sis­
te r o f th e b rav e brow n m ouse, h er
little nose w iggling In a funny way,
" l i e looks w h ite 'a ll th e way th ro u g h ."
W hen the brow n m ouse who w as
brav e enough to »qK'iik to the s tr a n ­
g e r said, “Can I do anything fo r you,
s ir ? ” In his very grand est m an ner,
little w hite m ouse stared , fo r you see
little w hite m ouse had nev er seen ju s t
an ord in ary m ouse before.
B u t a t la s t he got over h is frig h t
and brown m ouse persuaded Dim to
com e Into his w all hom e and w hen
brav e brown m ou se's s is te r told w hite
m ouse how nice It w as to liv e th e re
he decided he would not try to find
h is way back to th e circu s ten t.
And so one night th e re w as a wed­
ding in th e w alls o f tlie brown house
and little w hite mouse and p re tty
little brown m ouse s e t up hou sekeep­
ing and som e tim e you may be su r­
prised by seein g a w hite m ouse run
alo ng clo se to th e w all o f th e room
w here you happen to he sittin g , anil If
you do, perhaps It will be one o f th e
child ren who looks like Its fa th e r,
little w hite m ouse, who ran aw ay
from th e circu s ten t a long tim e ugo.
