How the story started: Milo, a curious mouse who liked to try new things, used to live in a quiet little hole under a big oak tree. Milo's mind was always racing with ideas and his heart was full of dreams. Milo's small house under the big oak tree had always been a warm and safe place for him, but his spirit of adventure made him want more. Outside the safe walls of his burrow, he dreamed of wide landscapes, strange animals, and exciting experiences. The outside world drew him in with its undiscovered places and wonders. Every day, he would look at the horizon and think about the sights and sounds he would soon see and hear. His longing grew greater with every passing second. Milo would often spend hours up in the tree listening to the wise old owl tell stories. The owl told the mouse stories about faraway places, strange creatures, and exciting adventures. Milo's heart was set on fire by these stories, which gave him a burning desire to learn and find out more. He dreamed of going on adventures through beautiful forests, up high mountains, and across huge seas. His mind would come up with amazing stories about animals that could talk, fairies, and finding secret treasures deep inside old ruins. His heart ached with the need to see these things for himself. Milo knew that one day he would die. He thought that fate would give him the chance to go on a wonderful journey. He was really looking forward to that day. He spent his evenings sitting on a windowsill and staring at the stars as if they were the key to his dreams. When he thought about the adventures he could have in the great unknown, his heart would beat faster. The mouse's small home became both a source of comfort and a source of worry. Even though he liked how warm and safe it made him feel, he couldn't help but feel hemmed in. The tight walls were getting in their way, and the hole that used to be his safe place had turned into a prison. He wanted to stretch his hands, get some fresh air, and feel the grass under his feet. Milo's desire to learn about the world got stronger every day, which made him more creative and determined. He spent hours working on his feelings and instincts so that he would be ready for his next trip. He would climb the tree limbs to get better at moving quickly and using his hands. He would look at maps and spend a lot of time following the winding roads that led to new and interesting places. His travels gave him the energy to do everything he did. As the seasons changed, Milo could feel that his big trip was coming up. The air seemed to buzz with a strange kind of energy, and it carried hints of what could happen. It was as if the whole universe had worked together to make his dreams come true and set the stage for his amazing journey. Milo looked forward to the day when he would no longer live in his tiny house and the whole world would be his playground. He knew his chance to go on a big adventure was coming up, and he couldn't wait to spread his tiny wings and fly into the great unknown. Milo woke up from a warm nap on a beautiful morning as the sun's golden rays shone through the oak tree's leaves. As he stretched and rubbed his tired eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw. Just outside his door, a shining golden key was hidden between the velvety petals of a flower that was growing. Milo's heart skipped a beat as he ran for the key, his small paws shivering with joy. He carefully picked it up and felt its weight in his paw. The key sparkled and shone, and the early light made a gold dance on it. Milo's whiskers twitched in wonder as he tried to figure out where this mysterious key came from and what secrets it held. He knew that this wasn't just any old key. It had a feeling of magic and wonder that caught his attention. Milo's mind raced as he thought about all the things he could do once he got through the mysterious gate. Milo thought about where the key came from while his heartbeat in his chest. Who did he get it from? Why is this happening? Was it a gift from a wise old owl or a word from the fairies in the woods? Milo's mind was full of questions, but he knew one thing for sure: he had been chosen for something amazing.

Missy Mouse Meets Thom Elf


Book Description

All In A Day There was no advantage to ponder the next step. One day it came swift like a fluke of fortune pouring from a magic box when its lid flew ajar. Happenchance might not be per chance, but with purposeful intent and soon you will know through visions of “once upon a time.” There was a young woman who triflingly courted memories of one thing or another. Thinking, daydreaming; stopping everything that needed attention, her daydreaming was to ask the question; was it true that all at Lake Harriet in Linden Hills lived happily ever after? An unusual circumstance persisted; passionate feelings toward nature’s abundance and goodness were not accidental. When sunrise accented, some sort of energy propelled her against resistance of being contained within the house. Through an open window, springtime air, by virtue of its potency, drew her to where trees were leafing, flowers were budding, and where people, who were compelled the same as her were gathered. She had spent winter days in the house. Temptation overcame her. She left every “must do,” unlatched the door, and entered into a place of solitude. She went for a walk! Warm breezes passed over her face like a whiff of pure splendor. Obliterating thoughts of customary obligations for family, career, and extra activities, she looked toward the sky at the treetops and then down upon the cemented walkway where she stepped. What contradiction was this to stifle growth of grass and natural vegetations beneath an overlay of hardened man-made concrete, when above, the treetops beckoned release from all sense of duty with their swaying branches and green seedling leaves? Steadied and protected from the ground’s unevenness; stone like material had a purpose, she supposed. Approaching the fenced gateway, bright color crimson and gold ignited the sky like flames of fire on the horizon. The sun’s rays were burning the morning dew and with it, thoughts of responsibilities dissipated. Walking where nature dictated tranquility, soon she was distanced from pending concerns. And unlike happenchance, calculated and intentional; her point of full departure was around the bend. Forty Second Street, located at the intersection of Broadway and Time’s Square in New York City and the topic for Forty Second Street, the movie, which told of its theaters; in Linden Hills, Forty Second Street, she knew, had not much to do about anything; no hoopla, no recognition, but led her to enchantments of many possibilities. Well, maybe, the idea of escape to the lake, with trees and flowers, birds, little ground animals, and baby fish swimming at the shoreline, fantasy thoughts took over. She stopped at a steep decline where the street and the golden sunrise met on Forty Second Street. The water and charm of sail boats and painted buildings and more trees and flowers was a place of transformation. She became one with nature. If she hurried, she’d be at the water’s edge in a blink. Aware that those sensations of exhilaration were not hers alone, but stupendous persons existed at Lake Harriet in Linden Hills and they walked and ran by her. Walk, walking, sunbeams burst as crystalline upon the lake; all things that required her concentration and focus had been left back there.
