Honza and Dash: In the City of the Big Castle Evan Brammer

In the City of the Big Castle, there is a tower just off of Old Town Square. On every side is a clock face; but the western side is the largest. And though it can’t be seen from the ground, if you look very closely above the 11th hour, there is a little window. Honza’s window.
This is the story of how an empty mouse hole became his home.

“Wait,” said Honza. “I forgot to do something.” Dash stood outside of Honza’s home, her hands on her hips and her tail tapping against the ground. “What did you forget?” she called out. -

Dash opened her eyes and frowned. She sat up in her bed, stretched her arms out to the sides and then towards the ceiling of her room. Instead of quickly getting ready for the day as she normally did, she pulled her pillow - made from a cotton ball wrapped in cloth - up behind her back and leaned against the wall. She closed her eyes and thought again about her dream. -

“Alright, here we go!” screamed Flicker as he burst from the ledge of the Tower. He bolted into the air above Old Town Square, looped around the Tower once, and landed in the exact spot he’d launched from a few moments before. “What? Are we done already?” asked Martin, as he slid off of Flicker’s back, being careful not to ruffle the bird’s feathers. -

Now mice, whether they are from the city like Dash or the country such as Honza, always try to make full use of the warm weather that comes each summer, once the long, cold winter and wet spring are over. They love to run in the tall grass of the green fields, climb the lowest and sometimes even the highest branches on the trees in the parks downtown and float downriver on a leaf or a raft they’ve built from sticks and mud letting their tails dip in and out of the water to steer. But everything changes when the hottest days of summer arrive. -

Ms. Maggie would not take “no” for an answer. She handed Mr. Green, the grocery mouse, the three pine nuts she carried in a cart on wheels she used for her groceries. “No, Mr. Green. These are worth at least two grapes. And you offer me just one?” Ms. Maggie shook her head with a thin smile spread across her face. “Ms. Maggie. Please, if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times. A pine nut is worth no more than half a grape. I’ll give you one and half grapes for all three.” -

Martin Shortail was not often invited to adventure with his big sister Dash. So when she asked him if he wanted to float the river with Honza and herself, Martin could not contain his excitement. On the day of the Big River Float, as he liked to call it, he was awake and waiting patiently to leave before anyone else in the house was up.
