The giant wedge of holey cheese under the arched cat is not just a snack; it is the clue to a daring plan. Behind the baseboard outlet, a tunnel map had been sketched in crumbs, and Pip the mouse was busy building his dream: the fastest cheese cart in the living room. He rolled the wedge onto the rug, ready to race past the potted plant and under the cat’s tall legs. Then Milo sprang up, tail puffed like a banner, eyes round with surprise. Pip grinned anyway. His project had passed the hardest test: it was exciting enough to wake the cat.
