[HARDCORE]

“A rat (I believe that ‘Magawa’ is his name) has just been awarded a gold medal (believe it or not)” for his work in detecting foreign land-mines – however:

And having had “Several Pet Rats” over the years, it must also be reported that (on the whole), I have found the rats that I have owned to be friendly little pets, and this, despite their often odious reputations!

“Besides, no rat that I am aware of, has ever asked to be born what it is, nor (to my knowledge) have any of them ever thought to run for public office!!”

So my hat goes off to ‘Magawa the Rat’, because whether he knows it or not (and he probably doesn’t), he may have indeed become – “The new and unsung, hero of the order muridae!” (squeak-squeak)
