Cinderella: The Lost Mice Part 6

Cinderella was right. The gardener had been trying to make a decision. He was about to let the mice go as the housekeeper had ordered. But he was worried about them. He knew it was too cold outside. Finally, he decided to take the mice to the stables. "Now don't tell the housekeeper," he told the stable workers. "But these poor mice need a warm place to stay and a bite to eat." The mice were very grateful to their new friends.

The mice nestled together in the barn. But as night approached, the stables got colder. Luckily, the horses were very friendly. They told the mice to snuggle in their manes to keep warm. "Thassa nice-a," said Gus as he drifted off to sleep.
