The Story of the Mouse's Marriage

The story of "The Mouse Marrying Her Family", which has been passed down in Han Chinese folklore, is that a long time ago, a couple of mice gave birth to a daughter. They loved her very much since she was a child. When she grew up to be beautiful and well-behaved, they wanted to marry her to the greatest man in the world. But who was the greatest man in the world?

They thought that the sun, which shines on the earth, was of course the greatest man! So they ran to the sun and said: Mr. Sun, we think you are the greatest man in the world, and we want to marry our daughter to you. The sun was startled by this sudden question and thought: How to get out of this? In a hurry, he said: Thank you for looking up to me, but I'm not the greatest man in the world, as soon as the clouds come I'll be covered out of sight, so the clouds are better than me.

They thought it also made sense, so they ran to ask the cloud and said: Mr. Cloud, we think you are the greatest person in this world, we want to marry our daughter to you. The cloud secretly screamed, blaming the sun for putting him on the spot. The cloud also wanted to throw the hot potato out, and in a flash of insight said: I'm not the greatest man in the world, as soon as the wind comes I'll be blown away.

The mouse couple was a bit disappointed, so they ran to find the wind. The wind also cursed the cloud for not having a conscience and for pulling him into the whirlpool, so he pushed hard and said: I'm not the greatest person in the world, because the wall can keep me out, and the wall is the greatest.

The mouse couple, for the sake of their daughter's lifelong happiness, had to wind up running to the wall again. The wall most understand the world parents heart, can not bear them to be rejected again hurt, so the heart of the good idea, think of a two-pronged approach, it pretends to be a bitter face and said: I'm not the greatest person in the world, I am most afraid of you rats, the rats will be in my body to play holes ah! It was only then that they realized that I, the rat, was the greatest in the world! So they immediately went home and held an embroidered ball toss to choose a rat son-in-law. Finally, on the third day of the New Year, selected a young and talented rat as a son-in-law, the baby daughter married over, and has been living a happy life.

Because of the wall's mercy, the mouse marrying a son-in-law finally came to a successful conclusion. Also because of the fear of disturbing the happy event of the mouse marrying, so every to the third day of the New Year to go to bed early and get up late, so the New Year's song also said: "the first morning, the second morning, the first three sleep until full.
