[VIDEO] Helpful Mouse Tidy’s Up Man’s Workbench Every Night

If any of you grew up with Disney classics like Snow White or Cinderella, you'll be familiar with the cartoon animals, namely mice, that help these fictional princesses go about their daily tasks. I always watched these as a kid and hoped that one day I would have an animal friend who could help me with chores too.

Well, in Wales, there appears to be a mouse who is keen to lift up its sleeves and help out around the house. Surveillance video shows the mouse cleaning up a Welsh man's workshed late at night while the rest of the house gets some sleep.

Watch the video:



From The Guardian:

A mouse has been filmed secretly tidying up a man’s shed almost every night for two months.

Wildlife photographer Rodney Holbrook noticed that objects he left out of place were being mysteriously put back where they belonged overnight.

Holbrook, from Builth Wells in Powys, Wales, set up a night vision camera on his workbench to find out what was happening, and captured footage reminiscent of the 2007 animated movie Ratatouille, where a rodent secretly cooks at a restaurant.

Holbrook, 75, told the BBC: “It has been going on for months. I call him Welsh Tidy Mouse. At first, I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed, so I set up a camera.”

Night vision footage showed the seemingly conscientious rodent gathering clothes pegs, corks, nuts and bolts, and placing them in a tray on Holbrook’s workbench.
