The wise old was is very clever. I first thought he was being very mean by making crowding the little house even more! Enjoyable read
I liked it that the lady thought there was no room in the house but after she took all the animals out she said there was lots of room!

The wise old man is my favourite because he helps the lady see that she has what she needs already.
