The mouse, the dream and the friends

Once upon a time, there was a small mouse named Miguelito. He was very hungry when he woke up in the morning and left his hole, which was his home, to find some food. He had not to go too far and found a nut. He thrusted his big teeth into the shell to break it. It took him some time, but then the shell cracked and the tasty inside of the nut lay in front of him.
By then he had become very hungry and began to eat. However, suddenly he felt a paw on his back and when he looked back he saw a big mouse. “You don’t want to eat it, do you? I’m sure, you will give it to me,” said the big mouse with a big grin on his face. Miguelito knew that he would have no chance in fighting for the nut because the other mouse was much bigger. So, he got up, asked for pardon and went away while the big mouse began to eat the tasty inside of the nut.
Miguelito was very sad and even hungrier. He went back into is hole, laid down and a big tear ran down his cheek. With an empty stomach but tired, he fell asleep and began to dream.
First, he dreamt he was a cat. Proudly he went for a walk and when he saw the big mouse who had stolen his nut, he chased him.
The mouse jumped over some branches, under some bushes, but did not have a chance, Miguelito now a cat, soon caught up with the mouse and held it up in the air by its tail. However, as he looked at the mouse hanging on its tail and trembling, he felt a paw on his shoulder. “You don’t really want this mouse, do you? You will give it to me.” When Miguelito turned around, he saw a very big cat, stepped back, gave the bigger cat the mouse and ran away very happy to have avoided a fight with the stronger one. A big tear ran down on Miguelito’s cheek again.
Second, he dreamt of being a dog. Again proudly, he went for a walk and when he saw the big cat, he began to chase it. Soon he caught up with the cat and held it up in the air by its tail. However, just when Miguelito, now a dog, looked at the cat, he felt a paw on his back. “You don’t want this cat, do you? Give it to me!” A big dog stood behind him. Miguelito went away and a big tear ran down his cheek.
Third, he dreamt of being a bull. Miguelito, now a bull, proudly went for a walk and when he saw the big dog, he began to chase him. The bull was much faster than the dog and after a while caught up with him. However, when he held up the dog by its tail he heard a voice behind him. And when he turned around, he saw a bigger bull. “You don’t want that dog, do you? Give it to me!” Miguelito went away and a big tear ran down his cheek.
Then, he dreamt being an elephant. Miguelito, now an elephant, proudly went for a walk. He saw the bull, which was standing by a small river and wanted to drink. Therefore, he went up to the bull and said, “You don’t want to drink, do you?” and the bull ran away.
Miguelito, rather satisfied, went to the river and began to drink. But suddenly he slipped and fell in. He looked around and saw crocodiles fast swimming towards him.
He tried to get out of the water, but the shore was very slippery, so he couldn’t get out. By chance a smaller elephant came around, saw Miguelito in the water and the crocodiles behind him, quickly held his trunk to Miguelito and pulled him out.
Miguelito had understood that he needed friends and so he proposed the smaller elephant to stay together.
When Miguelito, the mouse, woke up, he thought about his dream and when he left his hole, he met his neighbour, Carlito. “I’ve had a strange dream,” Carlito began, “I need friends.”
Miguelito was surprised but instantly understood that this was his big chance. So he said, “Let’s be friends and help each other!”
Now proudly, they went for a walk and when they found a nut, they shared it. However, suddenly they heard a voice behind them, “Hey, you two! You don’t want to eat that, do you? Give it to me!” And when they turned around, they saw the big mouse which had always stolen their nuts so far. But now, Miguelito and Carlito stood up and resisted the big mouse.
As the big mouse saw that Miguelito and Carlito together were stronger than him, he proposed to be friends with them. Like that, they were three already. More and More mice came to join them and from then on, they never quarrelled again but sat down to talk and to decide together.
