A Rat Among Mice
Long ago a small village of mice lived on the outskirts of a house. The mice carried out regular lives just like you and me. Digging through garbage cans and outsmarting deathly mouse traps. One angsty morning clouds covered the sky. A large black rat came walking on by. He saw the mice and exclaimed "oh look mice! This might be my day!" He ran up to the mice and fell on his back. "Oh me, oh my. Why? Why? Why? I've been persecuted and belittled everywhere I go I just want acceptance and myself to be shown." The mice all listened. Attentively observing. We'll help you Mr. Rat they all did say. Then they took him in and kept him for days. He told them stories of outcasting, unacceptance, and hardships he'd had. All this talk made the mice very sad. He grew powerful the rat among the small mice. They gave him all he wanted and treated him right. One day a young mouse came. Tol was his name and he was asking the same. The mice said "yes" but Mr. Rat "no way". He said this is my home and you won't take it. Tol begged and he pleaded,on his knees he did sit. But Mr. Rat would not relinquish his grip. Then tol went away broken and crushed. Mr. Rat became the person who he himself hated the most. Tol went away. All the mice said goodbye. But Mr. Drove him out with them by his side.
