Mouses Wedding (Usborne First Reading Level 3)

Like most fathers, Father Mouse only wants the best for his daughter. When he decides that it’s ti me for Miss Mouse to get married, he wants to fi nd her the best husband in the world, that is to say... the sun. The mouse family go to visit him – but the sun doesn’t think he is that powerful, as he can easily be covered up by a cloud. Father Mouse decides they must ask the cloud instead, but the cloud points out that it can do nothing against the wind when it blows, and the wind says that it can easily be blocked by a wall. The wall says, in turn, that it can do nothing to prevent a mouse from nibbling away at it. To Miss Mouse’s relief, the family fi nd a handsome young mouse at the foot of the wall, and Father Mouse is fi nally persuaded that the young mouse is the best possible husband aft er all. The two mice are married, and all the other characters come to the wedding.
