Long ago, an old Doormouse had found a strange item of curiosity in the Cellar. Not knowing what it was, he took it to the wise King Mouse, who promptly began searching through his many books in the great Library.

   "Here we have it, I daresay!" exclaimed King Mouse, just as the old man who had found the item in question was about to fall asleep. "This thing that you have found is...a camera! Either that or a ... can opener." King Mouse scratched his head.

   Before too long, with His Squires of Inquiry working day and night, they unlocked the camera's many secrets and began a tradition the Mice now know well.
