Colin sets free mouse number three

It was a beautiful morning this morning, and my mouse friendly trap was closed again, indicating I had caught a third mouse in my kitche. As I had done with the previous two, I walked down to the local park to set him free. Children were playing on the swings, birds were singing, somewhere a dog didn't bark. I was going to set free my mouse by the fence, but inspired by the beauty of my surroundings I set the tiny brown creature free on the cut grass, and watched with a self-consciously motherish pride as he hopped away. I was about to turn and leave, my job well done, when suddenly a large magpie swooped down from a nearby roof, scooped him up, and carried him off squeaking to a nest somewhere.
