Then they came out, hesitantly, pushing one another, all drawn towards the scene of death. There it lay, the dear little mouse, its neck caught in the deadly iron, the little pink legs drawn up, and now stiff the feeble body that would so well have deserved a scrap of bacon.The parents stood beside it and eyed their child's remains.","author":"Franz Kafka","tags":["death","dying","kafka","mice","mouse"],"id":109998,"author_id":"Franz+Kafka"},{"text":"The mouse that makes jest of a cat has already seen a hole nearby...
