The mouse girl

                                    The mouse girl


Once a man was sitting on the banks of river Ganges. He was having special powers too. That time, a tiny mouse who escaped from the clutches of an eagle while eagle was carrying it, fell on him. Man saw it was a tiny she mouse.
She was beautiful to look. A thought came to his mind to see her as a human being. With his special powers, he transformed the mouse to a girl child. Carrying the child, he came to home and showed her to his wife that god has given them a girl child.
As they were child less, his wife was very happy by seeing the child. She decided that she will look after her as if she were a princess. Days passed and mouse child is now a beautiful lady. Seeing her, her parents thought it is the right time to get her married.
They were thinking that a strong man should become their son in law. Suddenly they thought of Sun. Without his light, people cant do anything. With his special powers, they called Sun and told him their wish. But at that time, their daughter i.e. the mouse girl came forward.
She said Sun is very hot and she can not bear his hotness. Her father thought that it is right. He asked with Sun himself: who is the strongest compared to him. Sun replied that cloud is stronger than him as he can cover him and his rays.
Father sent Sun and called cloud. But seeing cloud, mouse girl said that cloud is dark and she doesnt like him. Now father again asked cloud who is stronger than him? Cloud replied that air is stronger than him since he can blow him away.
Father invited air and told him the reason. But his daughter didnt like air. She said air do not stay in one place and is always moving. Father thought it as the right reason. He asked air that who else is there stronger than him? Air replied mountain is stronger than him.
Father invited mountain. But his daughter objected for this also. This time she said mountain is very tall and she can not reach him to talk. Father agreed for that too. He asked mountain who else is stronger than him? Mountain replied a mouse always dig him to create a hole. So, mouse is stronger than him.
Father invited mouse. By seeing mouse groom, mouse girl readily agreed for the marriage ! Then father realised whatever be the condition, the nature by birth will not change. He gave his mouse daughter's hand to mouse groom.
