When it was almost dark Tirian heard a light pitter.patter f feet and saw some small creatures coming towards him. he three on the left were Mice， and there was a Rabbit the middle： on the right were two Moles. Both these ere carrying little bags on their backs which gave them a urious look in the dark so that at first he wondered whatkind of beasts they were. Then， in a moment， they were all standing up on their hind legs， laying their cool paws on his knees and giving his knees snuffly animal kisses. （They could reach his knees because Narnian Talking Beasts of that sort are bigger than the dumb beasts of the same kind in England.）“Lord King！ Dear Lord King，” said their shrill voices， “we are so sorry for you. We daren‘t untie you because Aslan might be angry with us. But we’ve brought you your supper.”
At once the first Mouse climbed nimbly up till he was perched on the rope that bound Tirian‘s chest and was wrinkling his blunt nose just in front of Tirian’s face. Then the second Mouse climbed up and hung on just below the first Mouse. The other beasts stood on the ground and began handing things up.
