Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Trokitikoulis. Every time Trokitikoulis the little mouse saw the stars in the sky, he wanted to touch them.
"Grandpa," he would say to his grandfather, "please lift me up in your arms so I can touch a star."
"What you are asking is not possible, my little grandchild," his grandfather would reply. "The stars are much too high. It is not at all easy for anyone to touch them..."
The story crafted by the clever pen of Eugene Trivizas can be read at any time, in any season of the year. His signature guarantees that readers will not stumble upon moralizing lessons, but will travel to beautiful meanings with humor and imagination as their guides.
