i take care of the temple of the King. I am poor and looked down upon by most people. I work hard to maintain the cleanliness of the castle.
Get out of this kitchen! You stupid little rodent! Please don't hurt me.  I mean no harm.  I am starving. That does not sound like my problem. Just stay very still for a moment. I am stronger than I look.  The wizard changed me into this from one of the king's strong men. Likely story. You are but a silly little mouse. Prove to me otherwise or I'll crush you. Is stealing the stick not proof enough?  My name was Sebastian, I was a strong warrior until I lost favor with the wizard.  He has since told tale of my death to throw off suspicion.  I need your help. If you're really a great warrior, tell me how many people you've killed. Too many to count.  My conscience is heavy with the blood I have shed. That's pretty sad that you're running around here squeaking about having no food. It's kind of pathetic. Please, might I have but a morsel and I will tell you my story? I'll give you some food NOT to have to listen to your story, How about that? Sounds fine.  A bit of cheese perhaps.
