No one, human or otherwise, was within sight, and Brooke realized it was up to her to save this mouse. After all, she had been the one who frightened him, though she couldn’t understand why. With a deep breath, she dove into the water. Sure enough, the little mouse lay unconscious at the bottom. She grabbed him with her wing and pulled him up. When she broke the surface she pushed the little mouse up onto the ledge with her wings. With a great effort, heavy with all the water, she followed.
When she had shaken herself dry, Brooke leaned over the mouse with her beak near his pink little nose. His beady eyes popped open and he flailed his arms wildly.
“Stay back, stay back!” he yelled. “Don’t eat me!”
“Eat you? I just saved you!”
“Saved me from you!”
“What?” She shook her head. “That doesn’t make sense!”
He leapt to his feet, a little paw pointed at her. “That’s exactly what you’d want me to think!”
“What? But I—”
“You came to eat me, but seeing my daring escape in progress you tricked me into falling, then saved me, only so you could trick me into letting you eat me, ADMIT IT!”
