The Tale of Master Meadow Mouse

Master Meadow Mouse is a round, rosy‑cheeked rodent who lives in Farmer Green’s meadow. His size attracts the greedy eyes of hawks, foxes and other predators, but his gentle nature wins the friendship of neighbors like Paddy Muskrat and Billy Woodchuck. The story begins with his simple pleasures—seed feasts, swims in Broad Brook, and snug winter tunnels—while a constant awareness of danger keeps his days lively.

When the farmer’s mower strips the grass, Master Meadow Mouse’s hidden routes are exposed, forcing him to outwit hawks and crows. A tiny round hole in his nest reveals a glimpse of the vast blue sky, sparking a bold curiosity that pushes him beyond his burrow. His mother’s urgent warnings only heighten his desire to explore the larger world.

From that moment, Master Meadow Mouse meets a colorful cast of meadow inhabitants—frogs, owls, cats and more—each encounter testing his wit and courage. Listeners will follow his clever maneuvers, his love of adventure, and the gentle humor that colors his survival in a landscape where danger and delight walk hand in hand.
