All the farm animals are kind and nice. Yet, they can also be different. Only the horse seems too gentle for even small acts of malice. But when a mouse scurries by, the horse lifts its hoof and steps down with a clack on the mouse. Everyone is stunned: crushing a mouse is not only cruel but terribly mean. However, the horse looks at the cat with a sparkle in its eye and demands that it refrain from chasing mice in the future: "From now on, all mice belong to me." The cat nods and walks away. Then the horse lifts its hoof: "Thank you," squeaks the mouse, which managed to hide in the horseshoe. A thought-provoking story about depths and reasons, about perception and intention.
