“Ach”, said the mouse, “The world grows smaller every day. At first it was so wide that it scared me, I kept running and was glad when I finally saw distant walls to the left and right, but these long walls rush toward each other so quickly that I am already in the last room, and there in the corner lays the trap I run into.”
“You only had to run in a different direction,” said the cat, and ate it.
