From her hidden nest, she could see all the other animals going about their lives. They were not afraid owl; hawk or fox would eat them. She watched as they laughed and played while she cowered in her nest.
Everything was not perfect. On occasion one would fall prey to a predator, but the cycle of life continued. They laughed, played, ate and were eaten as Mother Earth continued through the change of seasons.The more Mouse thought about it the less she liked the idea of staying in her nest. She began to feel trapped by all that she had used to make her feel secure. |
