Curious Mouse Got Unique
Glass T6mb for His Trouble
It was under a bush where
some untidy campers had
discarded it, a glass bottle
containing an ounce or so of
heavy syrup. A small, deer
mouse, investigating the aban
doned campsite, located the
bottle. Never before in his
life had he seen such a thing.
Never had "he ever smelled
anything as tempting as the
sweet odor that came from
one end of the jar.
The neck of the bottle was
small. He had to push hard
with his hind feet to force his
shoulders inside. It was so
tight his front legs were
crowded against his body. His
rear feet, braced in an irregu
larity of the forest floor,
found a firm grip. He gave a
mighty push. His body popped
inside the bottle like a slip
pery seed squirts out between
two pressing fingers. ,
Hungrily he lapped at the
syrup. It was the most deli
cious substance his taste buds
had ever experienced. He
drank until his little stomach
was distended like a toy bal
loon. Satisfied, he dashed
back to the opening, rammed
his head into the bottle neck
and pushed. His tiny hind
feet slipped on the slippery
glass. They couldn't find trac
tion enough to force his shoul
ders through the narrow open
ing. !
Exhausted
Exhausted with his futile
pushing, he curled up in a
tight little ball to sleep, but
sleep did not come, for sud
denly the stillness startled
him.' He was used to the small
noises of the. forest, now they
were gone, all sound was
strangely a b s e n t. Finally,
from sheer exhaustion, he
slept.
While he was asleep there
on the hard, curving glass,
other forest creatures located
the sweet fragrance of the
syrup. Large, black ants
crawled in through the bottle
neck, lapped at the sweet
liquid and awakened the
sleeping mouse.
Again and again he vainly
tried to squeeze out the bot
tle opening. Later he ate some
of the hurrying ants but more

kept coming until the last
trace of the syrup was gone.
The last ant squirmed out
rom under a pink paw.
Drops of Moisture '
The changing temperature
between the heat of the day
and the coolness of the night
formed droplets of moisture
on the sloping glass walls in
side the bottle. The mouse
dapped up the moisture. The
droplets of water prolonged
his life, but death alone could
liberate the little mouse from
his glass prison.
He looked out through the
confining walls at the green
forest, not knowing he was
looking his last. Fate had de
creed he spend his last mo
ments, on the inside looking
out.
