Today I would like to tell a warm and interesting story called “The Little Mouse Builds a House”.This is not only a story about how a little mouse realizes his dream, but also a life class that tells us “don’t give up easily” and “friends should help each other”.
I. The Mouse’s Dream
In a vast grassland, there lived a small gray mouse.Although it was not big, it hid a big dream in its heart – to have a small house of its own.
When spring came, the little mouse started to get busy.It ran around every day, looking for hay and picking up twigs.One moment he ran to this side to pull a handful of hay, and the next moment he went to that side to pick up a few twigs, and his mouth kept saying, “I want to build the strongest house, so that when winter comes, I won’t be shivering in the wind.”
It picked out a place that looked good to it, and under a big tree it began to build its house.Biting the branches with its teeth, it built them together one by one, and then laid down thick hay.Although it was very tired, it was especially happy because it was getting closer and closer to its dream.
However, not long after the house was built, a sudden gale blew over the house.The wind blew the mouse’s hard-earned house askew, and with a crash, the house collapsed.
Look at their efforts for a few days into a pile of messy hay and twigs, the mouse sat on the ground and cried sadly, while sobbing while “squeaking” screaming, as if to say: “I’m so hard to build a good house, how can this be gone?”
Two: A Friend’s Help Changes the Ending
While the mouse was crying alone, his neighbors heard the noise and ran over to ask what had happened.
A wise rabbit came over to comfort him, “Don’t be sad, let’s work together to find a way to help you rebuild a better house!”
Then a strong hedgehog joined in, “I can help move the stones to make the house stronger.”
Another hardworking squirrel also volunteered, “I can go and find strong canes to tie the branches more tightly.”
So, everyone worked together and together they helped the little mouse rebuild the house.This time, they used stronger materials, such as stones, thick branches, and canes.The house was finally built, and it was stronger than before.
When winter came, the cold wind blew across the meadow again, but this time the mouse’s house stood firm and didn’t wobble a bit.The little mouse stood in the doorway, looked at his friends and smiled, “Thank you for helping me build such a wonderful house, it’s good to have you!”
III. What is the truth behind this story?
We often think that success depends on one’s hard work.But in fact, real growth and change often can’t be achieved without the support and encouragement of those around us.
The little mouse started out as a one-man effort. It was very serious and hardworking, but it failed because of its lack of experience and wrong approach.And when it was willing to accept the help of others and knew how to cooperate, it really realized its goal.
This is just like us in real life.Very often, we will encounter difficulties, feel helpless, and even want to give up.But if we can be like the little mouse and not be discouraged or discouraged, and at the same time be willing to ask for help from our friends or family, things will be different.
IV. What the Story Tells Us
This story is simple, but it contains deep truths:
Dreams need action to be realized.
The little mouse is not a dreamer, it started to collect materials in the spring, step by step towards the goal.We are the same, just have a dream is not enough, only pay the actual action, can step by step close to the ideal life.
Failure is not terrible, the important thing is not to give up.
The little mouse cried when the house collapsed, but it didn’t give up on it.It chose to keep trying. This spirit of not backing down in the face of setbacks is worth learning.
Help among friends is important.
The success of the little mouse cannot be separated from the support of his friends.In life, when we encounter difficulties, don’t be afraid to ask for help.A true friend will lend a helping hand when you need it.
Teamwork can work wonders.
One person may go fast, but a group of people can go farther.The little mouse could only build a fragile house by himself, but with the help of his friends, he eventually built a strong new home.
The process of growing up is a process of continuous learning and improvement.
After failing the first time, the little mouse learned a lesson and with the help of his friends, he did better the second time.This shows that every failure is a valuable learning opportunity.
V. Conclusion
The Little Mouse Builds a House is not a complicated story, but it brings us far-reaching thoughts.Whether you are a young person who is struggling or a child who is learning, you can get inspiration from it.
Life cannot be smooth sailing, everyone will encounter difficulties and challenges.But as long as we remain hopeful, brave, and willing to accept the help of others, we will be able to get out of the rut and usher in our own sunshine.
The next time you feel like you can’t hold on, think about this little mouse.It tells us: the dream is not afraid of a low starting point, as long as you are willing to take the first step; failure is not terrible, as long as you can still stand up and continue to move forward.
