Milo the Cat and Miso the Mouse

In a quiet house lived Milo, an orange cat who loved moonlit windowsills.

One night, he noticed a tiny mouse peeking from behind the cupboard.

Please don’t chase me. My name is Miso. I only want

a crumb. You must be hungry. There are crumbs by my bowl.

You can share. Really? No cat has ever been kind to me before.

Afterward, Milo wrapped his tail around Miso like a soft furry shield.

Thank you. I don’t feel scared anymore. And I don’t feel lonely.

Under the moon, they fell asleep. The house never felt lonely again.
