Una mañana de sábado, los hermanos Ratón salieron en busca de aventuras.  Iban los tres muy risueños: el mayor, el mediano y el pequeño.  Junto al borde del sendero, encontraron un reflejo, como un pedazo de sol.  Era una llavecita dorada.  Y con ella… ¿qué se podría abrir?  A veces buscamos fuera y lejos, perdiendo de vista lo más importante: lo que se encuentra dentro y tan cerca de nosotros.  --Publisher
