[00:00:00]Oh my goodness, I have got the most exciting thing for Grandpa Mouse. I found him a house.

[00:00:10]I'm so happy for you, Grandpa Mouse. Do you want to see what it is?

You know a wooden vintage box. I just couldn't get out of my head. I've been dreaming about it and um this one oh, it's perfect. So, I hope you're going to agree.

[00:00:44]It's a bit stinky.

[00:00:47]Okay, it's a little bit stinky.

[00:00:50]Look. It's a little bit battered, but I think that's just perfect for Grandpa Mouse, don't you? It's got a little design on the top that's coming off. But again, I'm okay with that. It really does it really smells old. Um but what I love about it, it's got a lock. Don't know where the key is. They They didn't know anything about it or where it had come from. Um but I don't It hasn't got any Look, it's got no It's got some marks on it, but nothing It hasn't got anybody's name drawn on it or anything, I don't think. I'll just check.

[00:01:30]Nope.

[00:01:32]Nope, but isn't it lovely? And the best bit of all, so when you open it inside it's got a little tray. Okay? So, bear with me, Grandpa. Are you looking? What do you think of it?

[00:01:51]Look, it's going to be your new home.

[00:01:54]Look at that. What do you think? Do you think he's he's just about the right size as well?

[00:02:02]Okay, look. So, when you take the tray out, it's deep inside, look.

[00:02:11]But, the beauty of it is that is either the tray sits in the top like that, or are you ready for it?

[00:02:22]It goes there.

[00:02:25]Oh my god. So, I can fill it with all Grandpa's treasures.

[00:02:31]And this is like he's going to be I don't know how best to show you. So, he's going to be like that.

[00:02:38]And all his treasures are going to be on the wall behind him.

[00:02:42]Isn't that just the coolest thing?

[00:03:02]He needs like a little food shelf. He needs a clock, doesn't he? He needs a grandfather clock. No, that would be too big.

[00:03:10]He could have one there.

[00:03:12]Or he [snorts] could have a little alarm clock here. I feel like he's going to need a bed.

[00:03:18]Let me take that out.

[00:03:20]I feel like he needs a bed. Let's put him in there and let's have a look. How deep is it?

[00:03:25]So, Oh, yeah, it could definitely fit some sort of bed in there. Maybe just a mattress.

[00:03:32]Yeah, a mattress would be nice.

[00:03:35]And some blankets, or a little quilt. I could make him a quilt.

[00:03:41]Um what else does he need?
