​​Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest lived a little mouse, he was a sweet little mouse, but he was a very brave little mouse...He woke up early one morning and wondered what he would do today. He went down stairs and greeted his Mom with a big smile, she told him she had a letter for him. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a purple envelope. Haxley eagerly took the envelope and looked at it, the postage mark was from another country…it was from his very dear friend Tiffany the rabbit, she was coming to visit from far away...She was taking the early train and would be there in two days, she was arriving just in time for breakfast! Haxley was soooo excited, he wanted to make everything perfect for her...so that afternoon, he took his little basket and went into the dark, deep forest...Far, far up near the bear caves…where he knew he should not go...but he also knew that’s where the sweetest, plumpest, most delicious blueberries grew… He was very cautious because the big bears guarded the blueberries fiercely…he quietly, carefully tiptoed to the blueberry bushes...and quickly, quickly picked as many berries as he could fit into his little basket....until he heard a biggggg ROARRRR...he ran, ran and ran as fast as his little mouse feets could run…all the way home, his little heart beating so fast!! Ohhh that was scary! he thought, but he was happy with all the blueberries he was able to gather. The next day...with his basket in hand again, he made his way to the big farm at the edge of the forest, there was a very mean black dog tied to a chain barking at him, with big sharp teeth...but the mouse knew he could out run the big dog. He made his way to the hen house, there he carefully put two eggs into his basket...the next part he knew was muchhh more dangerous, he needed to sneak into farmer browns house and get some flour...he carefully watched thru the window until he saw the farmer answer the phone, and he quickly ran inside the farmhouse & stuffed his pockets with as much flour as he could fit...phewwww...that was close, just as he was running though the crack in the door  the farmer had finished his call! Ohhh that was close he thought, and he was happy with all the flour he gathered...as he was running home thru the forest he saw Farmer Laurent gathering maple syrup from the maple trees..ohhhh what great luck he thought...as he took a little bucket of syrup home with him...The next morning, he woke up very very early, even before the sun came up...He went to the garden and picked the prettiest flowers he could find. Then he went into the kitchen and filled a beautiful crystal vase with water and placed the flowers inside, he put the crisp white table cloth on the table, and placed the napkins in the  shiny silver napkin rings, then he started to cook, he mixed the blueberries, with the eggs & flour...he was making blueberry pancakes for his very special guest.​..the delicious aroma of hot pancakes filled his house...just then he heard a knock, knock, knock on the door..."Hello Haxley, it’s so wonderful to see you again"...it was Tiffany, she looked as pretty as always. She came in and gave Haxley as big warm hug…"Mmmm something smells soooooo good, yummy!" she said. "Come and sit down, come join me for breakfast" he said as he poured the syrup over the pancakes..."Oh so Haxley everything looks so wonderful, and Mmm the pancakes are so delicious, I hope u didn’t go thru too much trouble"...she exclaimed "No, no trouble at all" said the mouse "Anything for a special friend like you!" and they both enjoyed the yummiest pancakes ever, it was so wonderful sharing a delicious breakfast with such a good friend!
