Visiting the Great Owl/Seek Help From the Rodents of NIMH

Nice evening huh? I told you you'd love flying. I don't know how I let you talk me into this! Aw, don't thank me, Mrs. Briz. When we get to the Great Owl he'll know just what to do about everything! Owls eat mice! Ummmm... only after dark... That must be the Owl's tree over there. Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Well, the place looks deserted. I guess we'd better get outta here. Step inside my house... Come inside, or go away. Timothy... remember Timothy. Why have you come? Please forgive me for disturbing you... but my son's life is in great danger. The plow has come early this year and... Move your family. Yes... I would move, but Timothy has pneumonia. He can't even get out of bed. You must move it to a place where it will be safe from the plow. Please... there must be another way. There is no other way. I must bid you good evening, Mrs...? Mrs. Brisby. Brisby? Mrs. Jonathan Brisby? Why yes! He was my husband! But... how do you know about him? That is not important. I will say this... his name is not unknown in these woods. Please sir... I'll do anything to save Timmy. Anything. There is a way. Go to the rats. But I don't know any rats! In the rosebush. Oh yes... near the farmhouse. Go there. Ask for Nicodemus. Nicodemus? But how can they help? They must move your house to the lee of the stone. No rat could move my house! It's... They have ways! I don't understand... but I will do as you say. It is night. I must go. Remember... the lee of the stone. What... what did he say? He said to go to the rats. Rats. What rats? The lee of the stone...
