The Mouse Of The House Wants To Roar At The Baby Mice To Restore His Fallen Pride

The witch's husband lives in a default state of fear. If a dog growls at him, he'll bark to appease the dog. If a snake shows up on the scene, he'll slither and hiss. If you show up with a stick speaking Mandarin, he'll start speaking Mandarin.
If the witch is around he speaks only Witch, even with his own kids.
If you lose the witch, maybe he'll speak English.
