And Papa began… A mouse went out in his boat, but there was no wind. The boat did not move. “Wind! shouted the mouse. “Come down and blow my boat across the lake! “Here I am, said the west wind. The west wind blew and blew. The mouse and the boat went up in the air… and landed on the roof of a house. “Wind! shouted the mouse. “Come down and blow my boat off this house! “Here I am, said the east wind. The east wind blew and blew. The mouse and the boat and the house went up in the air…and landed on the top of a tree. “Wind! shouted the mouse. “Come down and blow my boat off this house and off this tree! “Here I am, said the south wind. The south wind blew and blew. The mouse and the boat and the house and the tree went up in the air… and landed on the top of a mountain. “Wind! shouted the mouse. “Come down and blow my boat off this house and off this tree and off this mountain! “Here I am, said the north wind. The north wind blew and blew. The mouse and the boat and the house and the tree and the mountain went up in the air… and came down into the lake. The mountain sank and became an island. The tree landed on the island and burst into bloom. The house landed next to the tree. A lady looked out of a window in the house and said, “What a nice place to live! And the mouse just sailed away.
