Little Mouse lived in a beautiful house. One day, when she sweeping the floor, she found a coin. She said "with this coin, i am going to buy a nice red bow for my hair. I will look beautiful"
she was really beautiful with her red bow in her hair. She sat next to the window so that every body could see her. Then came a donkey "Little mouse, you do look pretty,"said the donkey. "will you marry me ?" and she asked " what will you do at night?" " i will bray like this," said the donkey. and he brayed
"Oh, no i'll get frightened "said the mouse 
After that, the dog asked her, "little mouse, you do look beautiful. why don't you marry me?"
" What will you do at night?" asked the mouse
"i will bark like this " said the dog. and he barked
 "Oh, no i'll get frightened "said the mouse
Finally, the cat asked her " Beautiful little mouse will marry me ?"
" And what will you do at night?" asked the mouse
