    In the poem "To A Mouse", Robert Burns compares the life of a mouse to the life of a human farmer. The farmer believes that mice have a better life because they only worry about problems in the present, not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future like humans do. Humans have to deal with emotional problems, aspirations, fears and other issues, while mice primarily just worry about finding food, water and shelter. However, the document raises the question of whether mice may also worry about other things that humans cannot see.
