The Mother's Day Mice


Three little mice brothers wake up to find presents for their mother on mother's day. They go to the meadow to find strawberries and a dandelion. THe smallest brother wants to get honeysuckle, but they can't because of the cat. The brothers hurry home to give their mother a present. The older brothers laugh when the little one says he has a present. They were with him the whole time. The smallest brother sings his mom a song. She likes all of her presents. I think the message of this story is that the best gifts don't have to be material.
