Mighty Mouse

There is a news item I read in the paper the other day. It is about a tiny mouse bit a venomous viper to death after it was thrown into the snake’s cage.

It happened in Taiwan where the firefighters were looking after the snake they found in a local’s home. They got a big surprise when they witnessed a fierce fight between a tiny rodent and a 12-inch snake. It must be a gruesome scene to watch.

While I feel terrible for the dead snake, I respect this tiny mouse’s mighty instinct to survive. If there was a hall of fame for wild animals, I will definitely nominate this wee creature be inducted for bravery. - Ayee
