The Mickey Mouse
People usually hate mice, but one mouse wins
the hearts of the people all over the world—the famous
Mickey Mouse.
Fifty years ago, most films had no sound. A man named Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse that could talk in these films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse became a good friend of both young and old people. Children liked to see their lovely Mickey, because he brought happiness to them.
Mickey is a clean mouse right from the beginning. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse. In his early life Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they did not want Mickey to do wrong things. As there were some things Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal named Donald Duck. He also made a dog, Pluto. This dog does foolish things and makes mistakes wherever he goes. Now our Mickey Mouse is not only clean, but also more interesting. He came out as a star of beauty and wisdom. He has his friends in almost every country.
