Deep in the forest wee little mice begin to appear....
With such tiny lips .... they're so very dear.....
Legend has it, they may have dropped from above....
Hoping to find a wee bit of love.....
No one knows for sure from whence they came....
But a bundle of love... they are... just the same!

Pod Babies Needle Felted Baby Mice 3" (ALL SOLD) My eBay ID is: barby303


There is a legend that deep in the forest tiny wee mice lay.....
Waiting for someone... so they say...
Why they are there no one knows, but when they arrive you'll hear the cry of the crow....
They are found wrapped tightly... warm in their pod beds....
Sound asleep with dreams in their heads...
The creatures of the forest tend to the wee babes....
Until they find a loving home, soon one day....
So remember, if you hear a wee little cry.... you can be sure a mouse in a pod is nearby.

Another orphaned mouse as white as the snow.....
It was cold you see and the crow just had to go....

OK the story, this wee mouse was brought to the owl by the squirrel, an orphaned mouse. The owl missed her babes from last spring and wanted to keep the wee mouse. She hooted an owl Lullabye to the mouse and to her surprise the tiny mouse said "hoot hoot" back to her. It was instant love. Look to the sky and you may see a grand owl with a smiling mouse on her wing, soaring happily ever after. =)
