Happy Christmas

            

     A mouse ran under the table,  got a bran of panettone with his teeth, but stayed arrested in a mousetrap.

     Another mouse appeared and heard the  mouse that was in agony:

-I only wanted to take this savory gift Christmas for my little

 children!

While  the mouse said his last words , he let the  bran of

panettone fall on the floor. The other mouse got the bran and said:

      -I can’t free you from the mousetrap, my friend, but I will take this savory bran of panettone with me and if I meet your little children … I will wish them  happy Christmas.)
