One day as they took a cool, mossy shortcut down a cool, mossy alleyway, Mogey and Smush encountered the oddest fellow they ever did meet. The creaking of his knees as he approached gave Mogey and Smush a mighty start, for the sound had been oddly similar to the noise produced when the proprietor of the nearby bakery opened the back door to shoo them away from a sack of day-old croissants.
"Would you gentleman care to see a magic trick?" the odd fellow asked. Mogey and Smush stood up and regarded him for a moment. He wore jean shorts that went down almost to his ankles, a piratical vest but no shirt, and a tiny hat that appeared to be a deodorant cap held to his head with rubber bands. His ears too were large and oddly pointed, like a mouse's ears.
"No," Mogey answered.
"I agree," Smush added. "I have a distinct inkling that you will attempt to steal our croissant sack or tickle our feet, and neither sounds appealing."
