"The Rat Catcher's Son" from the By Thistle By Thimble collection

This week's featured story comes from the By Thistle By Thimble collection. It's called "The Rat Catcher's Son." The role of rat-catcher may not be respected in the old stone city where Bern is employed, but he is very good at what he does. The son learns from his father that the skills of patience, confidence and perseverance are important not only for rat-catching, but for accomplishing any goal in life.
