The mouse nibbled away at the meal for a few seconds. and at each nibble the owl blinked. and then came the climax. There was a sudden stroke of the owl’s claw and the little mouse was among the hasbeens. This continued for some time. the owl considerably reducing the latest census of mlccland. Later in the day the owl became very tired of fooling the mice. and fooled its captor by escaping. and has not been seen since.
