When a woeful mouse is swallowed up by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already taken up residence! It turns out that it’s pretty nice inside the belly of the beast – there’s delicious food, elegant table settings and, best of all, dancing. What’s more, there’s no more fear of being eaten by a wolf! Life’s not so bad, considering the alternatives. That is, until a hunter shows up… A gloriously funny and modern fable that draws on traditional tales.
