When a hungry mouse asks a boy to share his cookies, a chain of events begins: after the mouse eats the cookie, he needs milk (to wash the cookie down), and then a mirror (to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache), and then some scissors (while looking at the mirror, he noticed his hair was askew), and then a broom (to sweep up his cut hair), and then a nap. When he wakes up, he wants another cookie. And the whole cycle repeats again. Cookies and all, this show is far from crumby! |
