The Mouse with Seven Tails

A mice couple lived in a village. One day, the wife mouse gave birth to three baby mice. One of the babies had seven tails. Unfortunately, a cat got the two baby mice and only the seven-tailed baby lived. The seven-tailed baby grew up and got admitted into a school.

In the school his schoolmates taunted, “Here comes the mouse with seven tails.”

“Mother! All the mice in my school tease me for my seven tails,” he complained. So, the mother took him to a tailor and said, “Please cut off six of my baby’s tails.”

Next day, when he went to school his friends teased, “Six have gone but one remains.” The poor baby mouse again complained to his mother. The mother asked him to get the remaining tail cut off.

The baby mouse went to the tailor shop and got his remaining tail cut. “See the tailless mouse! Here comes the tailless mouse,” his friends again mocked at him in the school.

Moral :Don’t lend ears to useless talks.
