    About this ebook

    THE MICE OF MIDDLETON MARSH

    Far, far away in a magic land,
    Where animals are people like you and me,
    Lives a little mouse named Jimmy
    He has a cottage small, as cute as it could be.

    One night when the rain came tumbling down
    There was a knock upon his door
    And a new friend came into his life.
    He would not be the same any more.

    His name was Paddy, he was cold and poor
    And Jimmy let him share his home,
    This made the village a better place.
    Paddy knew things he learned as he did roam.

    The village was small with a narrow street
    With shops running down each side.
    A farm by the stream, where Farmer Brown lived,
    Who seemed as tall as he was wide.

    There was Rich Mouse who lived on the hill
    Who owned a mansion tall and grand,
    He owned the bank but was never mean
    And gave things away on every hand.

    There is a book full of tales and yarns
    That you all should really read;
    You will find hidden in the book
    A good way of life that you could lead.

    For the mice are kind and thoughtful,
    Helpful and all hard working too,
    They are willing to learn new things
    And are an example for me and you.
