The Tale of Despereaux furlough tilling?

"The Tale of Despereaux" is a children's novel written by Kate DiCamillo, recounting the story of a small mouse with big dreams. Furlough refers to a temporary leave of absence from work, often unpaid, while tilling is the process of preparing soil for planting. The connection between the two is not clear, as the novel does not involve themes of furlough or tilling.
