# _The_Amazing_Maurice_and_His_Educated_Rodents_ (sometimes spelled with
# "his" uncapitalized--the book itself uses all uppercase on both the
# cover and the title page so doesn't help resolve which is correct...)
# was the first of six Discworld books marketed for "Young Adults" (at
# least in the US), ages 12 to 16 give or take, so tended to be stocked
# on different shelves from the rest of Discworld in book stores and
# libraries. In the UK, _The_Amazing_Maurice..._ won the Carnegie Medal
# which is awarded for best children's book of the year.

%passage 3
They said he was amazing. The Amazing Maurice, they said. He'd never
meant to be amazing. It just happened.
He'd realized something was odd that day, just after lunch, when he'd
looked into a reflection in a puddle and thought, /that's me/. He'd never
been /aware/ of himself before. Of course it was hard to remember /how/
he'd thought before becoming amazing. It seemed to him that his mind had
been just a kind of soup.
And then there had been the rats, who lived under the rubbish heap in one
corner of his territory. He'd realized there was something educated
about the rats when he'd jumped on one and it'd said, "Can we talk about
this?" and part of his amazing new brain had told him you couldn't eat
someone who could talk. At least, not until you'd heard what it'd got
to say.

"Shall we line up too?" asked the kid.
"I shouldn't think so," said Maurice carefully.
"Why not?"
"See those men on the door? They look like the Watch. They've got big
truncheons. And everyone's showing them a bit of paper as they go past.
I don't like the look of that," said Maurice. "That looks like
/government/ to me."
"We haven't done anything wrong," said the kid. "Not here, anyway."
"You never know, with governments," said Maurice. "Just stay here kid.
I'll take a look."

There were big adventures and small adventures, Mr. Bunnsy knew. You
didn't get told what size they were going to be before you started.
Sometimes you could have a big adventure even when you were standing
still.

%passage 7
Malicia leaned against the wall with incredible nonchalance.
There was not a click. A panel in the floor did not slide back.
"Probably the wrong place," she said. "I'll just rest my arm innocently
on this coat hook."
A sudden door in the wall completely failed to happen.
"Of course, it'd help if there was an ornate candlestick," said Malicia.
"They're always a surefire secret-passage lever. Every adventurer knows
that."
"There isn't a candlestick," said Maurice.
"I know. Some people totally fail to have any /idea/ of how to design a
proper secret passage," said Malicia. She leaned against another piece
of wall, which had no affect whatsoever.
"I don't think you'll find it that way," said Keith, who was carefully
examining a trap.
"Oh? Won't I?" said Malicia. "Well at least I'm being /constructive/
about things! Where would you look, if you're such an expert?"
"Why is there a rat hole in a rat catcher's shed?" said Keith. "It smells
of dead rats and wet dogs and poison. I wouldn't come near this place,
if I was a rat."
Malicia glared at him. Then her face wrapped itself in an expression of
acute concentration, as if she was trying out several ideas in her head.
"Ye-es," she said. "That usually works, in stories. It's often the stupid
person who comes up with the good idea by accident."
She crouched down and peered into the hole.
"There's a sort of little lever," she said. "I'll just give it a little
push...."
There was a /clonk/ under the floor, part of it swung back, and Keith
dropped out of sight.
"Oh, yes," said Malicia. "I thought something like that would probably
happen."

He had to admit that he was cleverer at plans than at underground
navigation. He wasn't exactly lost, because cats never get lost. He
merely didn't know where everything else was.

"But first I shall need to borrow a pipe," Keith went on.
"You haven't got one?" asked the mayor.
"It got broken."
Corporal Knopf nudged the mayor. "I've got a trombone from when I was in
the army," he said. "It won't take a moment to get it."
The rat piper burst out laughing.
"Doesn't that count?" asked the mayor, as Corporal Knopf hurried off.
"What? A trombone for charming rats? No, no, let him try. Can't blame
a kid for trying. Good with a trombone, are you?"
"I don't know," said Keith.
"What do you mean, you don't know?"
"I meant I've never played one. I'd be a lot happier with a flute,
trumpet, piccolo, cornet, or Lancre bagpipe, but I've seen people playing
the trombone, and it doesn't look too difficult. It's only an overgrown
trumpet, really."
"Hah!" said the piper. "This I'd like to see--but not hear."
The Watch came running back, rubbing a battered trombone with his sleave
and therefore making it just a bit more grimy. Keith took it, wiped the
mouthpiece, put it to his mouth, moved the slide a few times, and then
blew one long note.
"Seems to work," he said. "I expect I can learn as I go along." He gave
the rat piper a brief smile. "Do you want to go first?"
"You won't charm one rat with that mess, kid," said the piper, "but I'm
glad I'm here to see you try."
Keith gave him a smile again, took a breath, and played.
There was a tune there. The instrument squeaked and wheezed, because
Corporal Knopf had occasionally used the thing as a hammer, but there was
a tune, quite fast, almost jaunty. You could tap your feet to it.
Someone tapped his feet to it.
Sardines emerged from a crack in a nearby wall, going "hwun/two/three/four/"
under his breath. The crowd watched him dance ferociously across the
cobbles until he disappeared into a drain. Then they broke into applause.
The piper looked at Keith.
"Did that one have a /hat/ on?" he asked.
"I didn't notice," said Keith. "Your go."

"You really /can/ talk? You can think?" asked the mayor.
Darktan looked up at him. It had been a long night. He didn't want to
remember any of it. And now it was going to be a longer, harder day.
He took a deep breath.
"Here's what I suggest," he said. "You pretend that rats can think, and
I'll promise to pretend that humans can think, too."
