Two Blind Mice

Once upon a time, two mice were caught in a cage with a piece of cheesecake. Giddy with delight, they danced holding hands, sang songs, told tales of great laughter and smiled even when they slept. And so many days passed.

Then one morning, they woke up and stared at the cheesecake in confusion. So many days, so many nights, so many nibbles, so many bites—they could not believe it was still in sight.

That day they fought all day. They found plenty of cause -there wasn’t enough space in that cage, the cheesecake left crumbs all over, the smell of it was overpowering, it was going to give them a tummy ache—and so on and on they went till night fell.

Then they supped on a piece of cheesecake, bid each other goodnight and fell into sound sleep.
The next morning, one mouse woke up and decided the cheesecake was as good as ever and requested the other mouse for affirmation. The other mouse could not bear this broach of privacy and freedom and promptly vowed to hate it forever. Both threw themselves at the door and bemoaned their fate when it did not budge. And so they fought all that day and well into the night.

They stopped only to sup on a small piece of the cake and then fell into sound sleep.

The mice awoke with a start. The cage was full of sunlight. The sky was blue. The floor was freshly swept. The door lay open. The cheesecake was gone.

The mice rushed about in horror. Grief-stricken they ranted at each other. Furious and helpless they panicked all day.

At night they huddled together and could not sleep a wink…
