Once upon a time, in a faraway forest, there lived a little mouse who was known for his bravery. He was small in size but had a heart full of courage. One day, while the little mouse was exploring the forest, he heard a loud cry for help.

He followed the sound and found that it was coming from a trap set by the hunters. The trap was big and dangerous, and a little bird had gotten caught in it.

The Cry for Help

The little mouse knew that he had to act fast to save the bird. He quickly assessed the situation and came up with a plan.

He climbed up on the trap and started gnawing at the ropes that held the trap together. It was a tough task, but the little mouse was determined to save the bird.

The Rescue

After a lot of hard work, the little mouse finally managed to cut the ropes, and the trap fell apart.

The bird was free, and she flew away, thanking the little mouse for saving her life. The little mouse felt happy and proud of himself.

The Encounter with the Big Animals

As he was returning home, the little mouse came across a group of big animals. They were laughing and making fun of him.

They said, "Look at this little mouse, he thinks he's so brave, but he's just a tiny creature." The little mouse was hurt by their words but didn't say anything. He just continued on his way.

The Meeting with the Wise Owl

On his way, the little mouse met a wise old owl. The owl saw that the little mouse was upset and asked him what was wrong. The little mouse told the owl about the big animals who had made fun of him.

The wise owl smiled and said, "Do not worry, little mouse. You are brave, and that is all that matters. Do not let anyone else's words bring you down."

The Encounter with the Hunters

The next day, as the little mouse was wandering through the forest, he heard a loud noise.

  • It was the hunters, and they had set a trap for him. The little mouse knew that he had to be brave once again.
  • He climbed up on the trap and started gnawing at the ropes. The hunters saw him and tried to catch him, but the little mouse was too quick.
  • He managed to cut the ropes, and the trap fell apart.

The Lesson Learned

The little mouse ran away, feeling happy and proud of himself. He realized that it did not matter what others thought of him. He knew that he was brave, and that was all that mattered.

From that day, the little mouse continued to be brave and courageous, and he inspired others to be the same.
