Albert was a mouse. He had always been a mouse and probably always would be a mouse for as long as he lived.

Albert was a mouse. He had always been a mouse and probably always would be a mouse for as long as he lived.
His father had been a mouse too, and so had his grandfather. In fact, as far as Albert knew, his entire family had been mice for as far back as anyone could possibly remember.
The other thing that Albert knew was that he, and his family, had always lived in Dartmouth, at No. 10 Higher Street, in a lovely white three-storey house next to the bookshop.
Albert would often sit alone in one of the bedroom windows and look across the rooftops. From there he would wonder if all the other mice in all the other houses that he could see were as happy as he was.
The trouble was, that Albert had never been past the garden gate, let alone been into any of the streets, and he had certainly not met any other mice. But he decided that whoever they were, and wherever they were, they could not possibly be as happy as he was, and that was that.
"One day I'm going to see the world!” He said to himself.
