Fog Morning
The hill has gone. The wood has gone.
The postbox stands in a cloud, alone.
No sheep, no gate, no crooked tree —
only the ten short steps I see.
I walk. The ten steps walk with me.
The gate appears. And then the tree.
The hill comes back. The wood comes back.
The fog rolls off along the track.

The Lion and the Mouse
A lion lay sleeping in the sun. A mouse ran across his paw and woke him.
The lion caught the mouse in one hand. "Please let me go," said the mouse. "One day I may help you."
The lion laughed. How could a mouse help a lion? But he opened his hand.
Weeks later the lion walked into a hunter's net. He roared and pulled, and the ropes only tightened.
The mouse heard him. She came at once and gnawed the ropes, one strand at a time, until the lion could step free.
1. How does the lion respond when the mouse asks to be let go?
2. What does the mouse do that shows what she is like?
