When the mouse met the fox the mouse outfoxed the fox by telling him about the Gruffalo and his favourite food which happen to be roasted fox.

“What is the art of healing other than a daily service of love and charity to advance the wellbeing of the suffering!”
Johann Christian Senckenberg
Senckenberg, a physician, naturalist, and collector, set up a foundation and to this day the noted natural history museum in Frankfurt carries his name. He was instrumental in establishing the first proper hospital in Frankfurt in the mid 18th century. The walls on the ground floor are decorated with quotes by him.
