Rodent, the Mouse..........(2)

RODENT thought deeply to duscover a way to entertain his closer friends but  as discreetly as possible. This was easier said than done. If and when the landlords, with whom he shared shelter, would discover his presence, that would be the end of his existence.

 

Watching the snorkel box from a good distance behind the sofa in front of the telly, he could follow an advert explaining how best to entertain one’s guests. The advert was, of course meant for human consumption, but as it involved Rodent’s favourite food item, of which he had never had enough, he stood motionless and as quiet as a mouse, listening.

 

Toppers was the latest of the delicacies in the finger-food genre that was becoming very popular with people who always preferred to have little solids to consume so that they could gulp as much of the alcohol available as possible. Toppers consisted of crumbled toasted bread covered in the most sophisticated brand of cheese, which cannot be mentioned due to advertising restrictions.

 

A handful  of invitation-cards was issued and distributed among his best friends and acquaintances, who were delighted to accept the invitation. It was ages since any of their peer group sent invitations for a warm get-together. On top of the list of guests were Grex, the orator, Sapiens, the wise and Saxo, the musician. There were some others, of course.
