Yat Long Suen,
nce upon a time, there were a lot of mice that lived in a village named Great Mouse Village. They
shared with their neighbours and friends when they found some delicious food such as cheese, milk,
bread, eggs, cakes, sweets, and chips. They had a big party every week at night. They lived happily
every day. But one day, there were six cats from the forest moved close by the village. The mice’s bad
dreams began from then on.

The beastly cats went to the village every day. They came and stole the mice’s food, and hunted the mice,
too. Many mice died after the cats came to the village. The villagers became fewer and fewer. There was no
more food or party. The village became cold and cheerless. The king of the mice were really sad.
O
One day, the king of the mice had a big conference with the villagers. The villagers did not want the cats to
attack them anymore. The king of the mice said that he would call some builder mice to build a tower that made
of different kinds of chocolates and let the villagers hide inside it.
The tower finished after two years. It was a lofty tower. It was build with white chocolates, milk chocolates
and dark chocolates. But, it melted two days later as it was sunny every day.
The king of the mice had a meeting with the high officers and the villagers again.
“
Let’s build a bigger and stronger castle with cheese. It is easier for the soldiers to monitor the cats.” One of
the high officers suggested.
“
That is a good idea!” The king praised the high officer. “Let me order the builder mice to build it.” But the
cheese was really delicious; the builder mice could not stop eating the cheese while they were building the castle.
Finally, they ate all the cheese and the castle could not complete. The king was very angry. He punished them
that they could not eat any cheese as long as they lived!
Mr. Great is one of the builder mice, he was clever. He said to the king, “My dearest king, please give us a
chance. My colleague and I will build the biggest and the strongest castle wall to protect the mice in our village,
and the cats and other enemies cannot attack us any more.”
“
This is your last chance, or you will have to leave this village if your plan fails!” The king said.
“
We are truly willing to try it for you, my dearest king. No matter how many difficulties we will go
through,” Mr. Great promised. “we will do as well as we can.”
Mrs. Great baked a lot of French bread. Mr. Great and his colleague stuck the French bread with syrup and
dough. The castle wall began to grow soon. As time went by, the castle wall had finished.
That day, the beastly cats came to the village again. When they saw the French bread wall, the leader cat
said, “Let’s climb over the wall and go to those tiny houses. I am sure that there are some mice living in there.
We will have a delicious dinner tonight!” The cats climbed up the wall. Unexpectedly, soldiers mice threw big,
sharp ice and pour icy water on them. The cats yelled and escaped back to the forest as fast as they could. They
did not attack the mice any more.
The king was deeply impressed by Mr. Great. He named the bread wall as “The Great Wall”. And they had a
party at night. They ate cheese, chocolate, sweets, milk, eggs, cakes, chips, French bread and syrup. Everyone
had a great time.
