The Tale of Two Bad Mice is a book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter. It was first published in 1904.
The story is about the exploits of two mice named Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca who break into a dollhouse, while its occupants are out for a walk. The two mice wreack havoc, especially Tom Thumb, smashing plaster plates of pretend food, upending dishes and shredding feather beds, before finally running back to their hole with a fair number of things from the house. In response the little girl who owns the dollhouse buys a policeman doll, while the nurse buys a mousetrap. In repentance for causing so much trouble, Tom Thumb pays for all his breakages, and Hunka Munka goes, each morning, into the dollhouse to clean it.
