Miss Mouse to get married, he wants to fi nd her the best husband in the world, that is to say... the sun.
The mouse family go to visit him – but the sun doesn’t think he is that powerful, as he can easily be
covered up by a cloud. Father Mouse decides they must ask the cloud instead, but the cloud points out
that it can do nothing against the wind when it blows, and the wind says that it can easily be blocked by
a wall. The wall says, in turn, that it can do nothing to prevent a mouse from nibbling away at it.
To Miss Mouse’s relief, the family fi nd a handsome young mouse at the foot of the wall, and Father
Mouse is fi nally persuaded that the young mouse is the best possible husband aft er all. The two mice are
married, and all the other characters come to the wedding.
The story is well known in Japan and also in China, in a more sinister version in which the parents marry
their daughter to a cat, with predictable results. Originally, it probably derives from a story in the great
ancient Indian collecti on of fables, the Panchatantra. A wise man rescues a mouse from birds of prey and
turns her into a girl. The man and his wife bring the mouse up as a daughter, and ask the sun, the God
of Clouds, the God of Winds and the God of Mountains to marry her, but she refuses them all. Then the
God of Mountains advises that a mouse ought to marry a mouse, and everyone is happy. |
