FT. SUMNER, NEW MEXICO -- A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Ft. Sumner said he caught the mouse in his house..
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there.
No one was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
