Das Herz schlägt dem Mäuschen bis zum Hals.

Mina hat die Angst gefunden und entkommt in letzter Sekunde dem Biss des gierigen Kriechtiers, flüchtet in die Mäusehöhle und kuschelt sich neben Mutter und Geschwistern ins Nest.

Geborgenheit.

And that is precisely what the author and illustrator do in this story about the little mouse-girl Mina, whose mother returns to their nest one day, her eyes wide with terror :

‘“Oh dear, the cat!” she panted, “The cat was chasing me and gave me such a fright!”’

Mina hasn’t the faintest idea what it means to be ‘given a fright’, so – being a curious little mouse – she sets off to find out.

Mina hat keinen Schimmer, was „Angst“ bedeutet und begibt sich deshalb, neugierig wie sie ist, auf Entdeckungsreise.
