THE MICE AND THE WEASELS
The weasels and the mice were always fighting with each other. In every battle, the weasels were victorious and the mice lost. The weasels ate a large number of mice for dinner after winning over them. So, the mice called a council one day, and appointed generals and commanders to form a large mice army to fight the weasels. The new leaders wore ornaments of feathers and straw. They felt proud. Then, the mice challenged the weasels. The weasels immediately attacked the mouse army. The mice slipped into their holes to escape the weasels, but the leaders got stuck at the narrow openings because of their head-dresses. The weasels caught them and ate them. After losing once again, the mice decided to keep away from the weasels.
