“Know what?” said Dogbane. “You really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I do, too.”

“This is just stupid,” said Dogbane. “Grandma is fine. Mice can’t fly. I’m going home.”

“I don’t scare so easy,” said Spruce, and he walked ahead, taking the path that led to the right.

Dogbane watched him go. “Runt!” he shouted, then spun around and began to run toward home.

Spruce kept going. But after a few moments, he stopped and glanced around. “Dogbane!” he cried. “I’m going!”

No reply came. Uneasy, Spruce reminded himself what Grandma Poppy had told him: “A mouse has to do what a mouse has to do.” According to Grandma, a mouse named Ragweed said that. Since Spruce’s father was also named Ragweed he supposed his father would say the same thing. Well, so should he.

Spruce gazed down the path he had chosen to get to the creek: he would do it alone.

As Spruce walked on, he thought: A mouse has to do…But it would be a lot easier to find Grandma if I knew where she landed.
