Pig Fiction

Within the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in wintertime.

From lost to adventures and finally peace and a purpose, Little Mouse learns that having this gift gives Little Mouse pleasure in giving to others. Before Little Mouse can receive this gift, he must face his greatest fear—the giants and, of course, Natas....
