Storyline
Plot Summary |
To the tune "I Would Like to Be a Bird," a young mouse fashions wings from a pair of leaves, to the great amusement of his brothers when his attempts to use them fail. When the butterfly he rescues from a spider proves to be a fairy, he wishes for wings. But his bat-like appearance doesn't fit in with either the birds or the other mice, and he finds himself friendless; even the bats make fun of him.

Quotes |
Boy Mouse:
Poor butterfly oh. [Pets the butterfly but it transforms into a female blue fairy] Blue Fairy: Brave little mouse. You've been kind to me. I'll grant one wish. What shall it be? Boy Mouse: I wanna fly. [Flaps his arms to show he wants to fly] Blue Fairy: Oh a mouse was never meant to fly. Think carefully beware. Boy Mouse: Please I wanna fly like the birds. Blue Fairy: Well if wings are what you wish, then you shall have a pair. [the Blue Fairy taps her wand on the boy mouse and bat wings appear on his back. He tries out his bat wings and flies, but runs back to kiss the blue fairies hand and then she disappears] See more » |
