There was a mouse named Airez who lived in a small house in the forest. One day, the mouse woke up shivering from the extreme cold. He got out of bed, put on heavy clothes, and went back to bed, but he still felt very cold. He got up again and put on his woolen hat.
The mouse went back to sleep in his bed, but he felt he was still shivering from the severe cold. He looked at the clock and saw it was eight in the morning. Then he looked out the window and the sun wasn’t shining yet. Instead, he saw snow completely covering the window. The mouse realized that heavy snow had fallen the previous night. The mouse decided to go and make hot vegetable soup to warm up.
The mouse put on his clothes and shoes, took his bag, and went to the market to buy the necessary vegetables to make vegetable soup, and also to gather some firewood to light it and get warmth. The mouse Airez tried to open the door but couldn’t. He looked out the window and saw piles of snow around the house, almost covering it completely, and he couldn’t open the house door.
The mouse sat crying, shivering from the extreme cold, with snow completely covering his house. He wouldn’t be able to go out to bring food and drink, or to bring the firewood he used to light to get warmth. The mouse knew he would remain like this until he died from the extreme cold and hunger.
The rabbit was looking out the window of his house and saw the mouse’s house completely covered with snow. He rushed to the bear and told him that they had to help the mouse, because he would surely die from the extreme cold inside if his house remained covered with snow.
The animals gathered - the bear, the rabbit, and the squirrel - to save the mouse from death. The three friends kept thinking of a way to save the poor mouse and his snow-covered house. The rabbit suggested that each of them bring a shovel to remove the snow, but that would take a long time, and the mouse might die inside from the extreme cold.
The squirrel suggested digging a small tunnel inside the snow, so the mouse could get out quickly, and then later they would remove the snow from the house. This idea was indeed the most correct and fastest way to save the mouse.
The animals dug a tunnel that reached the mouse’s house, which was about to freeze from the cold, and his appearance looked as if he were made of snow. The mouse thanked the three animals for their help that saved him from death.
Moral of the story: To teach children to help others as much as they can.
