Very charming story about two feisty mouse brothers whose cowardice masks their true bravery. After the mice in a seaside village call a meeting about their cat problem, Rambo and Asa, the two smallest attendees, are sent on a mission to get a bell and put it on the menacing feline.

However, fate steps in, and the winsome siblings are soon off to sea on a wild adventure in which they meet up with a tiger, play a trick on an elephant, and then head for home, where events turn out quite nicely for them in the end.
Notes
This is a very cute story!
