Once upon a time, there was a family of mice. The father in the family
had always thought that he had a pretty nice daughter, and she had to
marry the greatest guy in the world. The mouse father went out everyday
to find a guy who was the best match for his daughter.
When he was looking for his son-in-law one day, he felt very hot, and he had to take his jacket off. Then he realized,"Yes, the sun is suitable for my daughter". He asked the sun,"You are the greatest one in the world, you make everyone sweaty. I would like to let my daughter marry you". But the sun rejected him, because the sun said that the cloud was better than him. When the cloud floated by the sun, it would cover the sun, and no one could feel the heat and light from the sun. The father kept searching for the cloud. Suddenly, he found that it became dark because of the cloud covering the sun. The father told the cloud,"The sun told me that you are the best one in the world, so I decided to let my daughter be your wife". But the cloud rejected him and told the father that although he could hide the sun, when the wind puffed, the wind would separate him into several parts.
After listening to the cloud's talking, the father started to look for the wind. A Few minutes later, he felt fresh because of the wind blowing. The father asked the wind, "The cloud said you are the best one in the world, so I regard you as my daughter's husband". But the wind disagreed with the mouse. The wind told the mouse that he should ask the wall, because of the wall always interrupting the wind's traveling.
The father turned to find the wall, and requested the wall to marry his daughter. Surprisingly, the wall said,"You have already made a mistake, the greatest bridegroom is you, mouse. You know, you always break me; you drill into my body, so you are the best one in the world".
At last, the father realized that the most suitable for his daughter was a mouse.
