Orris and Timble: The Beginning

Orris, a rat living alone in an abandoned barn, keeps a few treasured objects in his nest. One night, he finds an owl named Timble caught in a mousetrap. Although Timble is his natural enemy, Orris must decide whether to free him. A remembered tale about a lion and a mouse helps shape his choice. Timble later returns with a thank-you gift and asks Orris for another story, beginning an unexpected friendship built through storytelling.
