The Mouse
at the
Seashore
A Mouse told his mother and father that he was going on a trip to the
seashore.
“We are very alarmed!” they cried. “The world is full of terrors. You must not
go!”
“I have made my decision,” said the Mouse firmly. “I have never seen the
ocean, and it is high time that I did. Nothing can make me change my mind.”
“Then we cannot stop you,” said Mother and Father Mouse, “but do be
careful!”
The next day, in the first light of dawn, the Mouse began his journey. Even
before the morning had ended, the Mouse came to know trouble and fear.
A Cat jumped out from behind a tree.
“I will eat you for lunch,” he said.
It was narrow escape for the Mouse. He ran for his life, but he left a part of
his tail in the mouth of the Cat.
By afternoon, the Mouse had been attacked by birds and dogs. He had lost
his way several times. He was bruised and bloodied. He was tired and frightened.
At evening, the Mouse slowly climbed the last hill and saw the seashore
spreading out before him. He watched the waves rolling onto the beach, one after
another. All the colors of the sunset filled the sky.
“How beautiful!” cried the Mouse. “I wish that Mother and Father were here
to see this with me.”
The moon and the stars began to appear over the ocean. The Mouse sat
silently on the top of the hill. He was overwhelmed by a feeling of deep peace and
contentment.
