The Mouse and the Hoola Hoop

Peckham Rye mouse makes a treasured find. A hoola hoop, likely lost by a school child on their way home, devouring a salty snack to keep their teenage body going until dinner.

He carries it over his nose. Not dissimilarly to when you stick them on the ends of your fingers. Good food for a mouse.

The troube is that the hoola hoop won't fit through his house opening. He carries it up, and although his body shrinks to fit through the slit between two bricks where the cement has worn away, the hoola hoop steadfastly refuses to go through, persistently falling off his nose. Several attempts later and he sits down to nibble some off.

Finally sliding it through a gap underneath the brick.
