      In time past, there have been a series of legends about the lion and the mouse, but my story goes thus, Lion King is the most respected and feared king in the history of the animal kingdom. Lion King was always known to live in comfort and luxury all his life. And Lion King was also known for roaring around the forest savannah and jungle just to ensure that everything was going smoothly in the kingdom, and thus it gave him joy deep in his soul. He did this as his weekly routine. 
         One cool evening, when the snow seemed to have died down. Lion King invited all the animals in the kingdom and ordered that all must be present. Every animal came at his request. 
    During the meeting, the king asked if anyone could give him a clever idea on how to build progress in the kingdom. Different animals in the kingdom gave several suggestions such as Tiger, Monkey, and Grasshopper, but none impressed the king until a little mouse brought a clever idea that wowed him. As soon as the king heard the little mouse’s idea, he said “awesome that’s very clever of you little mouse, I will order my noble servants to make sure your idea is executed.”

    Woodsies can take on any human shape, and have appeared in larger and finer forms than we can ever hope to have, though mostly they just need well-disguised bodies strong enough to care for plants that like wood-filtered light. They are mainly practical, wise, and helpful, but all families have misfits and trouble-makers and sometimes young woodsies like Leaf-lag won't grow up and have to learn the hard way. This rebellious, 'ne'er-dowell' woodsy only half listens to his lessons and training, and after idling his way through summer is frightened to face a season of work to make up for this during the warm and secure underground winter festivities. He decides to go his own way, but the cold and hunger are too much for him, so he takes refuge in a dolls' house inside the playroom of a large house. The two young children, whose noise and size at first terrify the visitor, are delighted with his presence, a secret close-kept from adults. But because he has not paid full attention to his training, every trick he plays to show off cannot be reversed, and this gets his friends into more and more trouble. He becomes disruptive, selfish, isolated and cowers away in fear of being trapped.   After many adventures, including a night in a mouse trap, he has to make for the closed doors of the winter palace, beg for admittance and face up to the discipline of his teachers. Born in Birmingham in 1943, Michael Tolkien grew up in rural South Oxfordshire and North Yorkshire. He studied classics and English at St Andrews and Oxford. Settled in Rutland since 1968, he worked as a secondary school teacher until early retirement in 1994. His verse has been published in two booklets and five full collections, which have been widely and favourably reviewed. He recently adapted and developed two tales by Florence Bone, a forgotten children's writer. He presented his versions in narrative verse as "Wish" and "Rainbow".
