This little mouse (or should I say shrew?) walked across my parents' garden terrace today. It seemed more than a little dazed, but when daughter tried to touch it, it ran away and hid under a shrub. Daughter and her friend gathered all their courage, put on garden gloves and picked it up from under the shrub. They put it in a flower pot and tried to nurse it back to life with grass, water melon and water (in an egg shell). Unfortunately, it died after an hour or so, and we had to organise an impromptu funeral...
