After dinner he fell asleep, and on waking he found that it was quite dark. He looked up and there was the moon right high up in the sky.

"oh, Mr. Moon!" he cried, "You do seem a long way away. I think it would be easier for you to come down here than for me to get up there." But Mr. Moon stayed where he was.
. Looking up Willie Mouse saw two big eyes fleaming in the dark. They belonged to Mrs. Owl, and as Willie was only a little mouse he didn't know Mrs. Owl had a special liking for little mice.
"Please, Mrs. Owl," said he, "how can I get to the moon?"
. Down flew Mrs Owl. "This is the way to the moon. she said, and she caught him up in her beak and carried him back to the owl house where she lived...................leaves rustled and there stood Mr. Elf, who jumped to the ground with Willie on his back.
.............Mr. Elf disappeared, and Willie Mouse still thinks that one day he will find the moon and have enough cheese to last him all his life -------------------------------------wiser,too.
