a mouse maiden story
Answers
Answer:
❤️❤️One day a mighty MAGICIAN went swimming and saw a MOUSE drowning in the river. He pulled the MOUSE out of the water and transformed it into a beautiful maiden. She was so lovely that the MAGICIAN thought he would try to find her the most splendid husband of all.
"Marry the sun!" he said to the girl.
The girl replied: "No, I won't marry the sun. It hasn't any legs and has fiery arms. All day it wanders around the world and at night it disappears. And anyway, it already has two wives, light and shade."
"But the sun is all powerful," objected the MAGICIAN.
"No, I'm not all powerful," interrupted the sun. "A CLOUD is stronger. If it wants, it can conceal me."
"Marry a CLOUD then!" said the MAGICIAN to the girl.
"No, I won't marry a CLOUD. A CLOUD is black, and water flows from it. No one likes CLOUDS, they make everything wet. And then a CLOUD has a wicked son, lightning."
"But a CLOUD is all powerful," said the MAGICIAN.
"I'm not all powerful," said the CLOUD. "The WIND is stronger. If it wants, it can blow me away."
"Marry the WIND," said the MAGICIAN to the girl.
"No, I won't marry the WIND. It's always running somewhere, annoying people, and if it touches things they break or dry up. I don't want to marry the WIND."
"But the WIND is all powerful," said the MAGICIAN.
"I'm not all powerful," howled the WIND. "The hill is stronger, I always dash myself to pieces against it."
"Marry the hill then!"
"No, I won't marry the hill. It's made of nothing but stones and thistles. What would I do with a hill?" said the girl.
"But the hill is all powerful," said the MAGICIAN.
"I'm not all powerful," thundered the hill. "Brother MOUSE is stronger; he can gnaw away and undermine me, if he chooses."
"Will you marry Brother MOUSE, then?" asked the MAGICIAN.
"Yes," replied the girl, and she smiled at the MOUSE with his strong, sharp teeth and red eyes.
So the MAGICIAN changed the girl back into a MOUSE and she ran off with the other MOUSE into a field.❤️❤️
