Christmas with Mr. Tigerli

He
is in Maine, Betty!
B:
What on earth is Mr. Tigerli doing in Maine?
He
is spending Christmas in the “The Jackson Laboratory” in Bar Harbor.
B:
Isn’t it too cold for him there?
He
has his winter coat and a wooly hat! It is not much colder in Maine than on
Olympus!
B:
Is he alone?
Yes,
and he hasn’t taken his motorbike.
B:
And the beautiful Greek girl?
She
doesn’t celebrate Christmas. A Greek goddess isn’t a Christian.
B:
I have already heard something of this world famous Institute on Mount Desert Island!
Yes
Betty! It’s a cats’ paradise. There are six million mice there. More than anywhere
else in the world!
B:
Six million! Oh my god, and all sitting around under the Christmas tree?
Yes,
they are all related to each other!
B:
And they are waiting for the Christmas presents to be handed out?
Yes.
B:
Oh god, and they all want to have their Christmas dinner at the same table?
Yes.
B:
How many tons of cheese would one need for such an enormous family?
Mr.
Tigerli will invite them all to dinner.
B:
Rockefeller could not be more generous.
Neither
could Pope Franciscus.
B:
Aren’t the mice afraid of our cat?
He
has disguised himself as the Christmas tree.
B:
That would certainly suit him well!
As
a Christmas present he will let all the six million mice free. The mice will be
absolutely overjoyed.
B:
Has our little friend already drunk too much mulled wine?
Happy,
happy, cats and mice
Christmas
together is very nice.
