Quiet as a Mouse

Jennifer chose the idiom "quiet as a mouse" which means silent or still; making very little noise; saying nothing. Here is her clever illustration:

There are lots of similes in English that use animal traits, such as "blind as a bat" and "proud as a peacock." "Quiet as a mouse" goes back to the late 1500's. Mice are extremely quiet little animals who race around very noiselessly in search of food, especially at night.
