The Clever Mouse

 


A small cat was searching for food.
For the last two days, she hadn’t eaten enough, and now she felt weak. Her usual energy and playfulness were gone.

She quietly walked into the kitchen, hoping to find a pot of milk —
but she wasn’t successful.
"Oh..." she let out a soft, sad sound.

Today, the kitchen owner had kept the milk in a safe place.
The little cat looked around with her big, hopeful eyes.

Last week, the owner had forgotten to put the milk away — and the cat had happily finished it all. It had been so tasty, she still remembered the flavour.

Thinking about it now, her mouth filled with water.

And now, her hunger had grown even more. She could barely walk properly because of weakness.
But suddenly, her eyes lit up —
She had spotted a small mouse! The small mouse had already seen the cat.
He stopped at a safe distance and said politely,
“Greetings, Cat Aunty.”

After hearing the word “Aunty” from the mouse, the cat felt a wave of anger inside —
but she didn’t show it.
She didn’t want to scare away her prey.

She controlled herself and replied sweetly,
“My little friend, what’s your name? And by the way, I’m just one year old — so call me Miss Baby.”
While speaking, the cat slowly moved a little closer.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Baby! My friends call me Motu,” the mouse said cheerfully.

“Yes... you already look like your name,” Miss Baby smirked, sticking out her tongue playfully.

As she looked at Motu, her mouth filled with water.
She silently waited for the right moment to pounce.

She thought for a moment and then said,
“Motu, can you help me?”
Miss Baby spoke in a very gentle and pleading voice.

“What kind of help do you need?” Motu asked, looking curious.

Miss Baby replied in a painful voice,
“Something is stuck in my teeth. It’s making me uncomfortable… and it hurts.”
She paused, then gently added,
“Can you please help me take it out?”

Motu thought for a moment,
“If I go near her mouth, I’ll be trapped… and no one will be able to save me from Miss Baby’s jaws.”
The thought scared him.

He looked at her nervously and said,
“Miss Baby, I don’t have nails on my hands… so I’m not the best option for this.”
Motu looked at her with a worried expression.

Miss Baby understood that Motu wasn’t falling for her words.
So, she started thinking about Plan B.

She quietly gathered all the energy in her body and thought,
“I’ll have to jump on Motu…”

She slowly adjusted her position, preparing to pounce.

But Motu understood Miss Baby’s intentions very well, and he was also ready to take his next step. Miss Baby’s hunger went out of control — she couldn’t hold it back any longer.
In a flash, she jumped toward Motu.

But Motu was prepared.

He quickly moved out of the way, and Miss Baby missed her target completely.

Motu ran away, and Miss Baby collided with the wall.
Already weak from hunger, the collision left her unable to move.

She lay there, dizzy and in pain.

Motu looked back, smiled, and said,
"Miss Baby, don’t worry. I’ll send Doctor Dogu to treat your teeth… and also your injury."

After saying that, Motu ran off.

Miss Baby lay still, thinking about Motu’s words:
“If he really sends Doctor Dogu… then I won’t have any chance left.”

Realizing this, she began to gather all her remaining strength...

Despite her hunger, she forgot everything else and slowly moved toward a safe place.

A Lonely Night and the Light of True Friendship

  The car broke down in a desolate and eerie place, and to make matters worse, the sun had just set. Slowly, darkness crept in, and the place began to feel even more mysterious and haunting. Silence surrounded me — only the sound of crickets and the whisper of the wind could be heard. My heart was restless, but thankfully, both the car and mobile phone batteries were chargedI quickly called my true friend. He listened calmly, reassured me, and immediately set out to help. As I stood there alone, I realized something important — in life, having a true friend is one of the greatest blessings . A friend who understands the worry in your voice, who doesn’t need words to know you need them, and who shows up without hesitation. After a little while, I saw headlights approaching through the darkness — it washim. No complaints, no questions — just a comforting smile and a hand on my shoulder, full of support. That night didn’t just teach me about fear — it taught me to believe in...

The bird on the wall

  One evening, around six o’clock, a bird let out a loud cry and landed on the wall in front of my house. I wasn’t sure why it made that sound, but I watched it curiously. In front of my house, there is a small garden filled with different kinds of plants. On the garden wall, birds often come to rest. I’ve placed a bowl of food and a pot of water there to welcome them. After eating and drinking, the birds usually sing cheerful songs. It feelsas if they are expressing their happiness and gratitude. But that evening, when I looked at the wall, I noticed there was no food or water left. Wondering why the bird had cried out, I checked the temperature—it had crossed 45 degrees. It was an extremely hot day. I whispered to myself and realized that the bird must be suffering from the heat. I could feel its pain. I hurried to refill the bowl with fresh food and the pot with cool water. After eating and drinking, the bird flew away, letting out a soft sound, as if singing a gentl...
