The Happiest Man in the World

Mouse doesn’t like people. She doesn’t like anyone.

Then one day an old man comes to stay. A miserable old man. As Mouse begins to think of ways to cheer the old man up, she slowly learns what it is to be happy.

“It’s a wonderful feeling when you make someone happy. It’s the best feeling in the world, don’t you think?”
