Truffle enjoyed his work, and he took pridein doing it well. The only difficulty he had was with cats. Nothing irritated Truffle more than the sight of a cat sleeping on the job while the mice ate theirfill in the corncrib. Truffle would howl loudly, waking the cat, which then would dash off withTruffle close behind!He never actually caught the cat, and he would not harm it if he did. It was all about the chase. Truffle enjoyed his work, but he felt that something was missing in his life. So, he left the farmto search for those missing pieces.
