Bedtime Caught Faithful Mice Promise Pyjamas Speaks Trap Mousetrap
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Heartfelt Promise: A Little Girl and a Caught Mouse in 1918 This photograph, taken in 1918, depicts a tender moment between a young girl and a small mouse, both frozen in time. The girl, dressed in a white nightgown and with her blonde curls cascading down her shoulders, gazes intently into the eyes of the mouse, who is trapped in a simple wooden mousetrap. With a determined expression, she asks the tiny creature, "If I let you out, will you promise me faithful not to run up my twowsers!" The term "twowsers" in this context refers to the girl's pyjamas, a common term used during that era for what we now call pajamas. The girl's concern for her bedtime attire, even when faced with the opportunity to free a small creature, speaks volumes about her character and the societal norms of the time. The mouse, seemingly aware of the girl's kindness, appears to consider her offer, his tiny whiskers twitching as he looks at her. This heartwarming scene captures the innocence and compassion of childhood, as well as the unique bond that can form between humans and animals, even in the most unexpected circumstances. The photograph, taken over a century ago, remains a poignant reminder of the simple joys and moments of connection that can be found in everyday life. It also highlights the enduring relationship between humans and animals, a bond that transcends time and continues to inspire and captivate us today.
