How real mice survive: squeezing, climbing and hiding, sentence 2

A real mouse runs along the edge of the kitchen wall, not across the open floor, with its whiskers brushing the wall, so a crack or a pipe to escape into is always close.

Who acts: real mouse, whiskers, crack · What happens: run, brush, escape, be · To what, where: edge, wall
