Crowdin' 'Round the Mouse

As I walked down 5th Avenue in the Flatiron District, I saw a young delivery guy on his bike stop to point at something on the ground. He was smiling and excited. I looked around for what he could find so amusing on a city street. And there, scurrying around the sidewalk, was a little grey mouse leaping over the cracks in the sidewalk; trying to find safety amongst the busy commuters.

After a minute of observing the terrified mouse, I realized that about a dozen people had stopped to take in this curious "event." The little critter ran in circles, and finally found a hole in the side of some clothing store.

Everyone applauded with big smiles on their faces.

Thank you, little mouse. 

You made a whole street full of people smile.
