They found a nearby hill as an ideal spot for their gliding tests. It was high, had steady winds, and was absent of obstacles like trees and buildings. On the day of the high flight, the sun was shinning and the sky was a clear diamond-blue. A crowd of small creatures gathered on the hilltop to watch the mouse fly. |

Merton gazed at some fleecy white clouds and at the grass rippling in the wind. He spied a raven flapping above. Soon, he would be in its place, not worrying about chores or overbearing sisters, just being wild and carefree. |

From that day on, Merton followed the same routine. Each morning he rose very early and hurried up to the attic. There he would find the parts for the glider; some sticks, a bit of horsehair, a few feathers. These he carefully hid behind an old wooden crate. As his collection grew, he began assembling the pieces together. Since he no longer had his flying books to refer to, he had to rely on his sketchbooks and the bat’s advice. |

He decided that the best thing to do would be to lower the glider out the window by means of a rope and basket. He had no trouble locating a basket. There were several scattered throughout the attic. He chose one that was light and easy to carry. The rope presented a problem, however. It was too heavy and awkward to move. So, he had to make do with a roll of package twine instead. |

“Oh no!” Nuttal groaned as he scrambled to his feet. Frantically, he chased after it, but it was all in vain. As he watched, horrified, it shrank to a small speck and finally disappeared. |
