It got set aside on the top shelf of the pantry for a long time, its cage door swinging on hinges of a wiry, brassy kind. A few nights ago, hearing a creaking noise in the pantry, the mother of the little girl and her brothers went in there with a light and were surprised to see a mouse running in the wheel. It was stealing a ride, all by himself and all for fun!
