The story
At the very top of a red-and-white lighthouse, on a windy cliff by the sea, lives a tiny mouse named Milo. Every night he helps Ada, the kind lighthouse keeper, light the big lamp so the fishing boats can find their way home.
But one stormy evening Ada catches a terrible cold, and the great lamp begins to flicker and fade. Out on the dark waves, the little boats are still coming home! Milo's whiskers tremble. He's only small, but the boats need that light. So up, up, up he climbs, all one hundred and twelve stairs, to scrub the salty glass and pull the big brass lever with all his might.
