Woodbury the boatbuilder needed to rid his house of mice but could not bear the thought of hurting them.
By choosing to trap a mouse "the same old way everyone else did", Woody realized he made an awful mistake.
However, true to his nature, Woody was able to surrender to "the calmness of the endless sea".
In so doing, he found a way to resolve the age-old conflict between heart and mind, as well as mice and men.
It was just what the world needed!
