HE DODGED INSIDE AND STOOD STILL IN THE ROOM FOR A MOMENT.THAT WAS A NARROW SQUEAK!IN A LARGE BED, COVERED BY A SILK QUILT, PROPPED UP AGAINST SATIN PILLOWS, SURROUNDED BY CRAYONS AND PIECES OF PAPER, DOLLS, STUFFED ANIMALS, SAT A SMALL GIRL.OH, GOOD! YOU CAN TALK!DOESN'T IT SURPRISE YOU?NO, ALL THE ANIMALS IN MY DREAMS SPEAK.I'M NOT A DREAM, I'M SCOUSE THE MOUSE. I'M GOING TO BE FAMOUS! I CAN TALK, I CAN SING, I LEARNT IT FROM THE TELLY.YOU'RE A DREAM! YOU'RE A DREAM! YOU'RE A DREAM!
