SCENE 1 | Telly passes by the Count, who invites Telly to join him in a special activity, but they must wait until it's dark out. The Count suspects Telly is a little afraid of the dark and tells him a special story - the sequel to "The City Mouse and the Country Mouse." The City Mouse (David Rudman) heads home to the city, but because it's a long trip, it becomes very dark as he walks. He fears he'll be lost, when a wise old bat in a tree shows him that the city lights can help him find his way home. By the time he's finished with the story, night has fallen and the two start counting all the stars in the sky. |
