Grandmother Puss; Or, The grateful mouse
Produced by Louise Hope
"Grandmother Puss; Or, The Grateful Mouse" by Unknown is a children's story likely written in the late 19th century. The book tells a charming tale about the relationship between a grandmother cat and her grandson, highlighting themes of care, adventure, and moral lessons. It is primarily focused on the interactions between animal characters, particularly addressing concepts of friendship, responsibility, and consequences. The story follows Grandmother Puss, a kind-hearted cat who takes in an orphaned kitten named Peter, raising him with love and affection, albeit a bit too indulgently. As Peter grows up, he becomes lazy and mischievous, ignoring his grandmother's warnings. The plot thickens with the introduction of a cunning mouse named Cooky and an old gray rat who causes trouble. When Peter attempts to catch Cooky, he is surprised and reprimanded by his grandmother. Ultimately, the narrative emphasizes personal growth and accountability, as Peter learns to take responsibility for his actions and becomes a source of pride for Grandmother Puss. The tale culminates in a poignant message about right and wrong, wrapped in entertaining animal antics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
