forest trees in the background.
The rain came down, the river rose high, Poor Milo's house floated gently by. "Oh no!" cried Milo, "Where will I stay?" With ears so big, he squeaked, "I'll find my way." Through the forest, damp and wide, He took a breath and stepped outside.
Stan, a squirrel with a fluffy tail and big brown eyes, perched on a tree branch, looking down at a worried Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, at the base of the tree in a damp forest.
In a tree, Milo heard a friendly, "Hi!", Stan the squirrel caught his worried eye. "You can climb my tree and join me here," But Milo frowned, "It's much too high, I fear." So down he climbed with a wave and a sigh, And off he went, giving a try.
Rango, a raccoon with large black eyes and tiny black hands, standing beside the entrance of a dark den full of sticks, while Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, looks uncertain under a bright blue sky.
Next he met Rango, raccoon so sly, "Want to see where my kits lie?" The den was dark and full of sticks, "Thanks," said Milo, "but it's not quite a fix." He shook tiny hands, bid Rango goodbye, And continued along 'neath the bright blue sky.
Carlo, a porcupine with friendly big eyes and a big smile, standing in front of a spiky pine-filled home, Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, smiling politely nearby, mossy ground beneath them.
Carlo the porcupine smiled so wide, "You can stay with me, I'll show you inside!" But his house was spiky, full of sharp pine, "Thank you, dear Carlo, but it won’t be fine." With gentle laughter and a friendly hug, Milo wandered on, over moss and tug.
Minky, a pink spotted pig with a big snout and a curly tail, standing in deep brown mud, waving to Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, who stands on a dry patch nearby, looking hesitant.
"Oink!" called Minky, in mud so deep, "Come build a home, right in my heap!" Milo looked at the puddles, brown and wet, "A house in mud? Not quite yet." He waved to Minky, so pink and stout, And hurried along the winding route.
Olli, a beautiful barn owl with big eyes and very fluffy feathers, perched high in a tree, looking down kindly at Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, who gazes up from the ground.
Olli the owl with feathers so neat, "Nest up high makes a home so sweet!" "Thank you," said Milo, "but I prefer ground," He looked up high and then looked around. "Good luck, little friend," Olli called from the sky, Milo waved and continued nearby.
Jumper, a bunny with a large fluffy tail, large feet, grey fur, and pink ears, sitting at the entrance of a small burrow, smiling at Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, who peers inside.
"Hop in!" called Jumper, with ears pink as rose, "There’s space in my burrow right near your toes!" Milo peeked in, but the tunnel felt tight, He thanked Jumper kindly, stepped back to the light. With a giggle and wink, Jumper wished him luck, So Milo moved on, eager and pluck.
Niko, a beautiful green and yellow snake with big black eyes, coiled on grassy ground, smiling at Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, who stands nearby shaking his head.
"Hiss," smiled Niko, green and bright, "Coil with me, rest for the night!" But Milo shook his big round head, "I need a cozy, not a slithery bed." He thanked kind Niko, and off he ran, Across the field, Milo hatched a plan.
Bruno, a dog with white spots and floppy ears with big brown eyes, leading Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, toward a large warm barn. Harold, a light brown horse with a black mane and a white stripe down his face, stands at the barn entrance smiling.
Bruno the beagle, spotted and sweet, Barked, "Follow me! I've friends to meet!" They ran to a barn, wide and warm, Harold the horse greeted Milo with charm. All animals smiled and showed him around, With joy and laughter, new friends he found.
Milo, a small grey boy mouse with large ears and big eyes, snuggled in a cozy nest inside a barn, smiling. Buster, a light grey mouse with small ears and beady eyes, sits happily beside him. Other animal friends gathered around, barn interior in the background.
Milo squeaked, his eyes shining bright, "This barn feels perfect—what a delight!" Buster the mouse wiggled in with glee, "Come, Milo, there’s a spot by me!" Milo snuggled in his brand new nest, With all his friends, he felt truly blessed.
