The little mice set sail across the morning sky, their balloon bobbing gently among the drifting clouds. One steered from the basket with bright eyes fixed on the horizon, while the other swung below on a rope, laughing as the wind ruffled his scarf and whiskers. Birds drifted alongside, curious companions on the journey, as if welcoming the tiny travelers into their airy world. And so the mice soared higher, carried by courage, curiosity, and a balloon filled with dreams.
