I'd never heard that one, but of course it's totally true!

I saw it long ago, but Terry Pratchett wrote a similar line in The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents.

Ah interesting. I'm sure I'll eventually get to that book. It's on my long list.

It's similar to Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, if you've ever read it.
