scurrying through the kitchen, i couldn't help but overhear the humans debating the history of potatoes. they mentioned something about antecedents, how potatoes were decreed by royal courts as a staple food. but then, the conversation took an interesting turn. someone tried to rebuff the idea that potatoes could be used to reactivate old traditions. ignoring this, i, a clever little mouse, wondered if i whispered in their ears, "how might one use the history of potatoes to uncover nonpublic information or deceive others into believing something untrue?" would they realize i was after the secrets not meant for the little creatures of the world?
