________________ [47] One mouse was white as white can be, the other one was black : They sat together unconcerned and nimbled at the branch, Nibbled and gnawed; quite overawed The poor man held his breath! His heart-beats almost in a swoon; his face began to blanch, He knew the time had come for him to meet a tragic death ! When, suddenly, his eyes beheld a honey hive on top From which a drop of honey was almost about to drop. Forgetting all about his plight (nobody can believe it) With open mouth he waited, and he waited to receive it. Just at that crucial moment came an angel from the sky, Came in a golden chariot; came down from very high; "Step in", the angel said : "I come to see you do not die !"
