Today is Marvin Mouse’s birthday. As he sat in Farmer Jack’s cornfield nibbling on an ear of corn, he suddenly realizes how late it is. He was going to be late for his birthday party this afternoon to be held in the barn by his family and friends. He dropped the ear of corn and began to run toward the barn.
Running through fields of high grass desperately trying to reach the barn, Marvin falls into a deep hole next to a tree in front of the barn. He calls out, but his small squeaky voice cannot be heard by anyone as far away as the barn. He struggles in vain to climb out of the hole. It’s too deep. Discouraged, he sits down with his head in his paws.
Meanwhile, his sister Marcia, his brother Melvin, and his friends in the barn are wondering where Marvin could be.
