प्रश्न

Once upon a time in a not-so-far-away land there were three blind mice. These mice lived on a small farm (as many mice do) just outside the city. The mice, named Arnold, Frank, and Edgar, were very cunning indeed. They found creative ways to steal food from the farmer and his wife, terrorize the other animals living on the farm, and even find homes for themselves all over the farm. The fight between the farmer's family and the mice was a continual battle.

Every day, the mice would come to the house to pillage and scavenge what they could. They would take whatever food they could find and scatter back to their home in the barn. Upon returning to their safe haven, a small crack in the wall stuffed with warm, sweet hay, the mice would plot their hunt for the next day. Every day, they scampered from the barn at lightning speed to find different food from their regular bread crumbs and spilled milk on the kitchen floor. However, one day the mice decided it was time to change things up from their normal routine.

"I think it's time we get some of that famous pumpkin pie the farmer's wife always makes," said Frank.

"Yeah! I heard that she wins the blue ribbon at the country fair with her recipe every year!" exclaimed Arnold.

Edgar, the quietest and most cunning of the mouse brothers, began to unfold his plan. He started this intricate plan beginning at the barn. At dawn, the mice would run to the house and enter from their traditional route through a crack in the bottom of the back door. Once inside, they would put on their disguises to trick the farmer's wife into giving them a whole pie to themselves. The mice decided to play upon the weaknesses of the farmer's wife. They observed her daily habits and saw that she had a kind heart and a loving nature towards all people. In order to gain her sympathy, Edgar formulated the plan around the mouse brothers posing as blind men.

What can be inferred from this statement of the passage- "Every day, the mice would come to the house to pillage and scavenge what they could."
