When Mrs. Mouse, a widow, loses her hole-house, all the animals set out to build her a new one. She would do it herself, but for her sprained paw. Mr. Badger tries, but his house is too big. Mr. Skunk tries, but with his little feet he can only make a very shallow house. Poor Mrs. Mouse! Then a Mr. Mouse appears and before you can say swiss-cheese Mrs. Mouse is comfortably established in a new residence. A neat little sermon on the fittingness of things, Mrs. Mouse's story combines wisdom and humor.
