“Would you like to come in?”
She entered the house and sat down, Harold then made some tea, she didn't have to
mention the note, soon enough she put it in her cardigan pocket and forgot about it. They didn't
speak very much at all for the first half an hour. The mice worried it was going badly until
suddenly Harold turned to her and said quickly ...
“Would you marry me ? … I'm sorry I've been needing to ask you for years but I was
always to nervous.”
“Yes!”
She answered with a smile.
“You will ?”
“Yes Harold I've needed you to ask me for years.”
The mice danced around on the window sill with joy, then later watched them both sit down to
enjoy a wonderful Christmas dinner. Five months later on the 8 May 1945 they were married in
th
the local church and the whole village turned up to show their happiness for them. The headboard
mice watched the celebration from afar with their little bundles of belongings, they had decided to
go back home to their families, parents, brothers and sisters who had not seen them for the last 3
years. They wiped their tiny happy tears from their sweet little cheeks and scurried off towards the
wood.
As they left the village they realised it was a double celebration because all through the village the
people where cheering and repeating the sentence …
“The War is over!”
