Pinto, The Sneaky Little Mouse / Christian Faith Publishing, Inc. (ePub)

In this fictional story, Pinto the little mouse finds her life very miserable and in danger on the farm she lived with other animals "" both wild and domesticated. Most of the bigger animals did not care about her existence at all, and some even preyed on her for food. Dreaming for freedom, peace and a better life each day, Pinto had to sneak her way around the farm until when one day she came up with a plan. She noted, among the pumpkins that were up for the annual Halloween Pumpkin Sale on the farm, an outstanding "Big Golden Pumpkin" which she anticipated would be bought by a rich family. Putting her mind to work, she orchestrated a plan that could earn her freedom to the life of her dreams. It was a plan that could also cost her life, but with determination and weighing the odds, she got herself to work creating a makeshift door on the pumpkin and removing its pulp and seeds inside. It was hard work but in the end, it all paid off. On the day of the pumpkin sale, Pinto hid in the Big Golden Pumpkin that became her ticket to the life of her dreams "" a mansion in the city far away from the farm and all the animals. Through her risky ordeal, Pinto finally earned her freedom, peace and lived happily ever after. She always reminds herself with pride, "Dreams without action remain nothing, but mere dreams."
