The pew is worn from many years of being sat on during services.  It looks fairly basic upon first glance.  But there is something just under the surface, something moving.

a rat chews on a dropped hymnbook
I stick to the edge, nose up and ready for any morsels that may drop my way. Or sometimes they don't, but I often don't know until my jaws are upon it. A hunk of moldy crust, the edge of a dropped hymnbook, it is all fair game.
This is so tasty *nibble* *munch* *chew* What are you doing rat! that's not for eating, go find some bread to eat It's hard to run when your mouth is full of hymnbook! Well i'll knock you away then with this old bible, it seems heavy enough! Oh my, this one looks even tastier! *chew* *gobble* *tear* No rat! stop! Ive worke dhard all my life here in this church, they give me money and a warm bed. All this kindness and I can't even keep a rat away in return for that kindness  Well, if you stopped leaving out delicious books for just anyone to walk by and eat, you wouldn't have that problem. Get back you filthy rat, books are not for eating, especially ones as holy as these. Get out I say or i'll find a cat to chase you out Well, I'll just keep gnawing on this hymnbook until you find one. well if you insist on eating things then at least eat on this instead, at least its not destroying the word of our lord *nibble* This doesn't taste particularly holy.  I'm not really interested. oh fine, you might as well start what you finished rat, I will only have to throw it away now any ways as your filthy paws have been on it
