“The thing I don't understand", I said, "is how Bruno and I are still able to talk and think just as we did before."
      "It's quite simple," my grandmother said. "All they've done is to shrink you and give you four legs and a furry coat, but they haven't been able to change you into a one hundred per cent mouse. You are still yourself in everything except your appearance. You've still got your own mind and your own brain and your own voice, and thank goodness for that."
      "So I'm not really an ordinary mouse at all," I said. "I'm a sort of mouse-person."
      "Quite right," she said. "You are a human in mouse's clothing. You are very special.”
