the meek shall inherit the earth

Does standing up in what you believe in, despite of the obstacles in your way, lead to your own happily-ever after? Written by Kate Dicamillo, The Tale of Despereaux : Being the Story of a Mouse, a Princess, Some Soup, and a Spool of Thread tells a tale of a mouse who lost his tail somewhere in the middle of the story (Poor pun, i admit). A mouse who was unlike from the others.. born different from the rest of the mice and bound to lead an exceptional life.

Despereaux Tilling, was banished from his own folks (own father, no less) into the deep dark dungeons of the castle after he does what other mice mustn't: Sit at the feet of a human, let a human touch him and speak to a human, and not forgetting falling in love with a human too. So how did he make his own destiny?

A wonderful and heart-warming tale to be share... i believe in fairy tales and the happy ever after :).. after all.. without hope or dreams.. what's left for us?
