The following is the report of one of the botanical experiments filed in the anonymous herbarium called:<br />
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: center;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">"Botanical Extravaganza".</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">This report of a botanical experiment has been found inside an empty laboratory of an unknown flower grower, who reported the curious experiment named "Mousey Candy Rose".</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The hybrid creature<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>named "Mousey Candy rose" is the result of the grafting of rodent genes into a wild rose’s seed, which has been watered with liquid sugar and industrial candy flavor for two weeks, before starting to sprout.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The plant grown from that sprout has been fertilized with cheese flakes for about a month, growing a curious tubular and striped stalk that looks like a candy cane.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The bud popped out only by the second month of experiment, with sincere satisfaction of the flower grower. The wild rose that blossomed soon afterwards displayed a tiny mouse head in her core. The flower grower seemed to be truly enjoying it, as he refers to it as “the cutest thing”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The situation turned off suspicious, though, as the mouse began to grow tiny and sharpen teeth. The flower grower loved his creature, and he kept feeding her with the most delicious cheddar cheese.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">On the third month of experiment the Mousey Candy Rose had grown taller, chubbier and stronger, to the point that a pair of nice feet (wearing fancy shoes!) popped out from underneath its base. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The flower grower was genuinely fascinated, as he reported the unexplainable vanishing of the plant roots. He also reported that, once the Mousey Candy Rose was able to move her first step, he had to chain her to the pot, in order to prevent her for running all over the laboratory (mice tend to be very industrious, especially at night).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The flower grower was compelled to cage his creature, against any ethical belief.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">He kept feeding the rose with cheese, and watering her with liquid sugar, up to the revealing moment when the creature grew tiny hands with worrying claws.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">One day the flower grower discovered in horror that she used her claws to dig a hole in the bottom cage and set herself free.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">It must have been at that point that the flower grower expressed his first perplexity about the whole experiment. He also confessed to be scared by the unexpected results he had obtained. It was now evident that the rodent genes had taken over the plant’s, so that the hybrid creature generated was in fact a rodent, more than anything else.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">Going against his ethic, the flower grower stopped feeding his creature, expecting her to fade and eventually die.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But against any expectation the creature started eating herself, biting into the candy stick that composed her body. The flower grower despaired, in the astonishing self revelation that he had given birth to a monster.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Lucida Calligraphy"; font-size: 9pt;">The last page of the experiment reportage is almost empty, with the word "forgive" only partially spelled.

Look at how pretty are her blue eyes, and what a shiny fur! This is just the best Mousey Rose I've ever grown. I water her with liquid sugar twice a day and I feed her some cheese fertilizer once a week.</div><br />

<br />
As a Mousey Candy-Rose has grown enough, she gets "footed". With her nice pair of boots she can jump and run all over the place and you won't be in charge of feeding her no more.<br />
It's at this point that the "mousy" part of those creatures takes over, and there's nothing you can do about it.<br />
<br />
Since a Mousey candy Rose is partially a mouse, you have to expect her to sleep during the day and to turn into a little evil at night, when she wakes up and runs to the shelves in search for cheese. <br />
<br />
What a mess in the kitchen! But it won't be for much longer: Unfortunately Mousey Candy-Roses wither very soon. They last as long as a regular rose... <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kitchen Mouse Ghosts are used to haunt my house every year around Halloween.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Those ghosts disguise themselves as kitchen mice in order to haunt store cupboards in search of sweets.<br />
<br />

But they tend to be quite clumsy. Sometimes you can tell from the very first moment that they are wearing a camuflage: It's a matter of fact that Kitchen Mouse Ghosts aren't very good in stitching on mice costumes.<br />
<br />

Some of the butterflies brought a mirror before her. She saw in her reflection the same caterpillar she had always been, but now, what had once been gorgeous and extraordinary, was unimpressive and miniscule. </span></span></i></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: Courier New; font-size: small;"><span style="color: navy; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Her tiny wings and rounded body were shameful compared to the beauty around her. With Spring in full swing, the caterpillar began to feel a deep anger, and tremendous jealousy for the butterflies, after all, those wings were supposed to belong to her, that is what Nature had intended.</span></span></i></div><br />
