His answer amazes them when he claims that he is collecting supplies of a different sort – sun rays for the cold dark days ahead, colours for the grey winter and words for the long days when they might run out of things to say. Not surprisingly, the other hard working mice are none too pleased so they challenge Frederick. Instead of working as hard as his brothers and sisters, he spends his days staring at the meadow seemingly half asleep. Frederick is the only mouse who seems to see things slightly differently though. However, by working hard night and day the little family look like they could collect enough to see them through the long hard winter. Unfortunately, the farmers have moved away meaning that there are not such rich pickings to collect for the winter. The story of Frederick starts by introducing a chatty family of field mice who live in a stone wall alongside a meadow not far from a barn and a granary. Is he just being extremely lazy or is he actually contributing in a different but equally helpful way? However, one field mouse, Frederick, doesn't seem to be doing any work. It's arduous work but as long as they all put their weight they should be ready.
