Nezumi was a mouse. He was thinking about finding a husband for her daughter Suki. But Suki said,"Father, I wish to marry Taro. "
Taro was smart and strong, but Taro's parents were not rich or powerful. "My Suki can't marry a common mouse!"Nezumi said. "I'll find someone powerful for my daughter. "Nesumi traveled far and wide, but nobody met his high standards.
One day, he climbed to the top of a mountain. "Hi, Sun!"Nezumi called. "Nobody is more powerful than you. I'd like you to marry my daughter. "Sun smiled and said,"Yes, I'm powerful. Without me, nothing grows. But when Cloud covers my face,the world grows cold. "As Cloud came, Sun disappeared.
Nezumi bowed to Cloud and told him his wish. "Surely I'm powerful,"he said. "But here comes someone stronger. "And Wind blew Cloud away.
Then Nezumi shouted his wish to Wind. "Of course I'm powerful. But I can't pass through Wall," said Wind.
When Nezumi told Wall his wish, Wall said quietly,"Yes, I'm powerful. I keep enemies away. But I'm afraid of mice like you, who dig under me and make me fall down. "
Nezumi let out a big laugh. He ran back home and said to Suki, '"My dear! You are right. Taro will be a powerful husband. "
