Throwback: Hey Little Mouse!

Starglow Media / Wondery
About this episode

Today we're doing a throwback episode to one of our favorites from the early days of Stories Podcast. The pheasant, the dove, and the magpie don't understand why the little mouse won't just take a break and hang out with them! But when a terrible drought comes and the birds don't have any food, they finally understand the value of planning ahead. Will the mouse help them out?
