I reached into the box to find a marker pen. Before my hand started rummaging, I heard a rustling noise and my stretched arm coiled back instantly. A mouse with three new born babies, still suckling on the mother’s teats.

What should I do? Kill them? They gnawed and chewed my cushions, ruining my very expensive cushion covers. How do I kill them in the most humane way? Drown them? A big rock?

I chickened out. Didn’t have the bravery to kill them. I set them free in the field.

How many tails can you see?
