The Curious Mouse and the Angry Bull

Moral of the Story: Might May Not Always Be Right.

One warm summer afternoon, a little mouse named Max peeked out of his tiny hole in the ground. Max was feeling adventurous and wanted to explore the world outside. As he scurried around, he noticed a huge bull named Bruno fast asleep under a shady tree. Bruno was snoring loudly, and the sound echoed through the forest.

Max was very curious. “Wow, how huge his nostrils are!” he exclaimed, looking at Bruno’s big nose. Max had never seen anything so large up close. His curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to have a bit of fun. He tiptoed closer and closer until he was right next to Bruno’s nose. Then, with a quick leap, Max jumped into one of Bruno’s nostrils and came out the other side. It was like a fun little tunnel for the tiny mouse!

But the tickling sensation woke Bruno up. He felt a sharp pain in his nose and let out a loud cry. “Ouch! What was that?” Bruno roared, shaking his head. Max, realizing he had made a mistake, got scared and started running as fast as his little legs could carry him.

Bruno, now fully awake and very angry, chased after Max. “You silly mouse! How dare you disturb my sleep? I’ll teach you a lesson!” he bellowed. Max ran and ran, zigzagging through the grass and around the trees. He was small and quick, and soon he reached his hole and darted inside, safe from Bruno’s reach.

Bruno was not ready to give up. He stood outside the hole, fuming with anger. “You can’t hide from me forever, you pesky mouse!” he shouted. “I’ll get you out of there!”

Max, peeking out from his hole, tried to calm the bull. “Oh mighty Bruno, I’m really sorry. I did that just for fun. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he squeaked. But Bruno wasn’t convinced. He was too angry to listen.

Determined to catch Max, Bruno started dashing his head against the wall of the mouse hole, hoping to break it down. He dashed and dashed, again and again, but the wall was strong and didn’t budge. Bruno kept at it until he was completely exhausted. His head hurt, and he was out of breath, but the wall remained intact.

Max, seeing Bruno’s futile efforts, decided to speak up. “Oh foolish Bruno, just because you’re big and strong, it doesn’t mean you can achieve anything by force. Sometimes, you need to think and use your brain. Stop breaking your head and go now,” he said gently but firmly.

Bruno paused and thought about Max’s words. He realized that the little mouse was right. His strength alone wasn’t enough to solve every problem. Feeling a bit embarrassed, Bruno silently walked away, leaving Max in peace.

And so, the story of the curious mouse and the angry bull teaches us that being strong doesn’t always mean being right. Sometimes, we need to use our minds and think things through. Strength and might are important, but wisdom and understanding are just as valuable.
