The Eagle


On a cliff far above the blue waters of the ocean there stood a solitary lighthouse, and in this lighthouse lived a family.

They were: Pandora, the cat; Seabold, the dog; and Whistler, Lila, and Tiny, three mouse children.

This family had not always been together. They once were scattered far and wide, and none had ever guessed they would find one another one day.

For many years Pandora had lived all alone at the lighthouse, bearing her loneliness so she might save others by keeping the light burning.

Seabold had been a sailor, steering his little boat Adventure across the waters of the world.

And the three children—Whistler, Lila, and Tiny—had lived within the walls of an orphanage, until the night they escaped to the sea.

But one day Seabold washed ashore in a storm and Pandora found him. Then Pandora and Seabold, in turn, found the children, lost and adrift in the ocean.

Thus these wanderers came together, made a home, and thereafter they were the lighthouse family.



Now it was fall. The children and Pandora and Seabold had enjoyed a lovely summer. Through the long days the children had collected rose petals and lavender, and now Pandora was kept busy each morning in the kitchen, making rose petal and lavender jellies for the winter table.
