Adventure of the Mouse
My name is Mi Qi, one year old this year, and I am a strong man mouse. My living standard has just risen slightly above the poverty line according to human standards. However, exactly as your humans often say: When love comes, which young man can resist? I have fallen in love involuntarily too. The female mouse with beautiful gray eyes, her name is Noah. More terrible than her beauty is that she was born into a rich and powerful family. Though I try very hard, work tirelessly, and city afford it well, she has just curled her lip superciliously, saying: Diamonds can move the sweet-smelling heart of a woman mouse even more than honeyed words. I have gone away disappointedly.
At night, I sit in front of the hole, look at the charming bright moon in the sky, and I think Noah is remote just like this bright moon from me. I experience her moving brilliant rays quietly, but unable to share the happiness of life with her.
The last decision I made on the morning of the next day, I came into one of the household's bedrooms on the third floor. I know there is an enormous fishbowl, various beautiful fish traveling around inside there whose names I cannot say. I stand on the border of the fishbowl, overlook these beautiful but lack intelligence lives, my heart is full of miserable irony: Though I am a clever mouse, I can't gain Noah's love. So I decide to terminate my life here, let these stupid fish taste the flavor of the meat of a clever mouse. I hold a walnut and jump into the fishbowl. I have sunk to the bottom quickly. I close my eyes silently, knowing the last moment of my life is coming.
At this moment, I suddenly feel something pressing or rubbing against my back painfully. Though I have already chosen death, I do not want to receive any extra injury more. Then I stretch out my hand and fumble, there are six hard things altogether. I spread my palm out, Ah, my God, they are six big glittering diamonds. The language of mice is unable to describe my wild joy at that time. In short, I kick open the walnut, stingily hold heavy diamonds, and desperately get onto the fishbowl edge.
When Noah saw those six diamonds, she burst forth with a moving smile on her face. She embraces me tightly, excitedly saying: Dear rice is strange, I really love you very much. However, if you could get some more money, our wedding is sure to become the classical creation of the mouse wedding, that will be a great miracle!
What I still can say, as a man mouse, it is all of his obligations to let his woman mouse be happy. So I have returned to that house again, I search each corner carefully, but I can't find the thing that I want. The sun will set soon, my owner who will know the house will come off duty soon. I am a bit agitated, I turn over a cigarette conveniently, I plan to release a cigarette to refresh myself. But to my surprise, unexpectedly the cigarettes in the cigarette box were all rolled into by pieces of one hundred bill. I open several packs of cigarettes again, it is like this to charter the bag capital. I tow the cigarette back to my residence excitedly, though this is a bit arduous, but I am still praising this house owner sincerely from the heart: Hide the diamond in the fishbowl, hide the money in the cigarette, this is that even a more sophisticated burglar can't expect either. Though all these have already been owned by me now, this is sheerly an accident.
Perhaps seeing it as a share of the money, Noah has kissed me for the first time. She also says: My dear, if you could get some bankbooks for us, I would like to become your lovely wife at once! I have agreed, I know destiny is not choosing for my right, but accept. But not bad, pass the exercise of the first two times, I have already grasped a new thinking method. Just as expected, I have found several bankbooks with enormous numbers in a video disc machine storehouse in that house. And then later on, Noah and I buy the extremely honorable scene of the wedding with the money in the cigarette. The distinguished personages, elites of the circle of mice participate in fully, the scene is extremely grand.
But accidents happened subsequently, because of the electric sound play of the band we invited being too loudly, have caused a group of extremely violent cats. They tear rotten our city with sharp claws, the hoarse bellow of the cat, wail sound of mice rise one after another at one time. To tell the truth, I want, lead my beautiful bride flee for life together very much, but looking at her beautiful long white wedding gauze kerchief, I know I can only pray for her. I flee from that disaster luckily, but Noah beautiful that the elite of countless mice including me has died under the sharp claw of the cat unfortunately.
My life gets back to loneliness again from a grand banquet. I sit in front of Noah's tomb containing personal effects of the deceased, smoking boringly, looking through the newspaper boringly, I think whether I still can find making oneself glad or thing that sadness stood up. I see a piece of news at this moment, the title is <<Have given much thought, is not so good as a mouse's mouse's cat's Chinese Furniture competition, uncover a huge venal official>>. I see that press the third floor household's master very much of that image sent by the police on the question photo. I think I understood a reason at last: Greedy no matter to people, to the mouse, are all the most terrible desire. I have lighted that newspaper before Noah's tomb, I read in the heart silently: Noah, a big corrupt official will be your funerary object that have liked that, you rest in peace! Then I turn round to leave. I know, one has no love, not as the man mouse of the money, can live a very happy life too. I think like this, really.
