The Tale of the Foolish Little Mouse

Author:
A tale about a naughty little mouse who didn't listen to his mother Mouse and the hired nannies. Until he met a cat. Suitable for teaching misbehaving boys a lesson.

Mother Mouse was lulling her Little Mouse to sleep:

Sleep, my beloved son, I'll buy you a Kinder Surprise tomorrow and a big soft toy.

But he was being difficult:

I don't want Kinder, I want a remote-controlled helicopter and a different nanny!

With nothing else to do, Mother took a newspaper with classified ads and began searching for nanny positions. She called 10 numbers, but no one agreed except Aunt Duck, who consented to come.

The next evening, Aunt Duck lulls Little Mouse to sleep:

Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, fall asleep Little Mouse, and tomorrow we'll go to the circus to watch wild tigers and eat cotton candy!

Ugh, I don't want cotton candy, I want ice cream and your voice is absolutely terrible to my ears!

Aunt Duck was offended and left Little Mouse.

With nothing else to do, Mother Mouse took the newspaper again and called 10 more people. Aunt Toad agreed to help.

The toad rocks the little mouse while singing:

Croak-croak-croak, sleep child! Tomorrow we'll go to the water park together.

I don't want to go to the water park, I want to watch cartoons at home! You have an annoying voice, go away!

The little Mouse answered, half-asleep.

Aunt Toad was offended and hopped away to her home.

The sad Mother Mouse took the newspaper again, having already reviewed 20 ads. No one wants to babysit the naughty Little Mouse, and only Aunt Horse agreed.

She came and began to sing a song:

Sleep, Little Mouse, fall asleep, I'll give you a piece of cheese or we can open some caramel popcorn, just go to sleep.

I don't want popcorn, I've had enough of it! You're very scary, hairy, and your voice is terrible, go away!

Aunt Horse snorted and galloped off to the pasture. Mother Mouse decided to search the internet for a nanny, hoping there would be more openings. She looked and looked, nothing seemed right, and only one ad caught her interest. Aunt Hen agreed to help raise the naughty Little Mouse.

She puts the child to bed and clucks:

Cluck-cluck-cluck, go to sleep quickly, may you have beautiful dreams! Tomorrow we'll go to the park and eat ice cream!

I don't want to go to the park, and there's ice cream in the freezer at home, whatever kind you want! Annoying hen, go away!

Aunt Hen was upset, clucked loudly, and left.

Mother Mouse writes an email to her old acquaintance Aunt Pike:

Come, dear, help me rock Little Mouse, all my hopes are on you!

Alright, I'll try to help!

Aunt Pike replied. She came and rocks Little Mouse, opens her mouth, but nothing can be heard.

Little Mouse began to complain:

What are you singing? I can't hear anything! I can sing better — la-la-laaaa... Go home, I don't like you at all!

Aunt Pike got angry, flicked her tail, and swam away to the blue sea.

Mother Mouse is sad again and wonders if she should call Aunt Cat? She wrote her a letter, and Cat didn't hesitate to agree.

Aunt Cat came and lulls him:

Meow-meow-meow, don't lie on the edge! Fall asleep quickly, little crumb!

Oh, what a beautiful voice you have, I like it so much, please stay and live with us!

Then Mother Mouse returned, looking for her child, but he was nowhere to be found.

Where has my Little Mouse hidden?

Mother Mouse wonders, and his trail has gone cold...

She called Aunt Cat, but she doesn't answer the phone, it's out of service area...

An original fairy tale with a modern twist about an old man, an old woman, and a gingerbread man. The old man asked the old woman to bake him a gingerbread man. She couldn't do it because she didn't have the right ingredients. So she baked a little cake instead and put it on the windowsill to let the frosting soak in.

In everyone's life, real magic can happen, but not everyone correctly understands and uses the gift that fate has given them. This slightly sad tale is about how important it is to make the right choice so you won't regret what you've done. It's about a boy, a kitten, a tablet, and of course, it has a happy ending.
