He lived inside a box of biscuits in the famous patisserie called Prast, situated at the Arenal Street. He was a tireless worker, he left a present in exchange for the milk tooth of those children who put them under the pillow before go to bed. His favorite was a coin.
This tale was written by Padre Luis Coloma for the child king Alfonso XIII. It is very popular, in France it is called “la petite souris”, in Italy it is called “Topolino” and in the Anglo-Saxon countries this role is played by “Tooth Fairy”.
On 5 January 2003, the Madrid city hall payed tribute to this character by putting a commemorative sheet at the same place where Padre Coloma located the mouse’s house with this text: “Here lived, inside a box of biscuits, Ratón Pérez”.
The ticket costs €1.00 (or a milk tooth if you still have them!)
