Fairy Tale

This was my favourite tale when I was a child. Do you remember it?

The Little Vain Mouse

There was once a little mouse who was very vain. On day, she found a coin on the ground and she was very happy for that. She started to think how she could spend that money. She thought and thought and finally, she decided to buy a big piece of pink silk to make herself a beautiful bow.
She was really beautiful with her pink bow, and many animals wanted to get married to her. But Little Mouse was demanding and she wanted a perfect animal. First, she met a fat pig. He was in love with Little Mouse, and promised to make her wishes true. However, she didn’t like his appearance and she turned down his offer.
After that, she met a rich dog and he asked her to get married. She thought about his petition, but she didn’t want to get married to the rich dog because he wore glasses.
At last, she met a handsome cat and she believed that he was perfect for her. The perfect cat talked to her about a perfect life in a perfect house and she believed him.
They married soon, And Little Mouse was beautiful and happy with her bride dress. When she saw the groom, she thought that she was really lucky. When the wedding finished and they were together at their home, the cat (her husband) wanted to eat Little Mouse because she was a mouse.
The cat was stronger than little Mouse and he almost killed her but at that moment, two policemen arrived at the house and they arrested the cat and Little Mouse lost an illusion.

The moral of this story is: Sometimes, appearances can deceive.

A diary entry

1 February Yesterday we came back home. We should have stayed there longer. We spent a good time, several months in France. It was cold but sunny. We tried to visited many tourist places and to make a lot of photographs. We lived in an old town, near an incredible lake, in a little house with a little garden where I had planted some roses. This morning when I woke up and I was looking out the window, Martin said, "I would like to come back". It's difficult to return to your previous life when you have lived in a foreign place for a long time.
