Sticking with mice, the Florentine Codex reveals that if someone were to eat from a piece of food that a NaUgHtY mouse had nibbled, they would then be falsely accused of a crime. That’s because people would see in him the same sneakiness as the mouse that stole a morsel of the food in the first place.
