Abstract
Here is a story of a little mouse who thinks that he is the strongest animal around. The first few creatures whom he meets, like lizard and beetle, happen to be frightened by a coming storm at exactly the same time when mouse makes threatening noises, so mouse naturally thinks that they are afraid of him. He next encounters dog, who similarly denies that he is elephant. When the mouse does encounter elephant--by literally bumping into him--he gets a trunkful of water splashed on him, but comes away saying that it was lucky for elephant that this storm struck, or mouse would have shown him who is the strongest. If Elephant has not come by since to dispute it, Little Mouse is still telling that same tale….
