Story 8. Finding a Husband (I).
Once there lived a happy mouse family.
They had a beautiful daughter.
Mr. and Mrs. Mouse would always say, Our daughter is the best girl in all the land.
We must find the most powerful person to marry her.
They decided that the sun would be the best person to marry their daughter.
So they went on a journey to see the sun.
Sun, they said, you are most powerful.
You shine brightly and bring light everywhere.
Will you marry our daughter?
Sun replied, I am strong and powerful.
But Cloud is more powerful than me.
Cloud can cover me and hide my light.
He will make a good husband.
So, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse travelled to see Cloud and asked him to marry their daughter.
But Cloud said, I am flattered, but I am not the most powerful.
Wind is more powerful.
Wind can blow me away with no effort.
Mr. and Mrs. Mouse were astonished.
But they wanted the best husband for their daughter.
So, they decided to search for Wind.
