One Day A Hungry Mouse Found A Small Nut. He Began To Bite At It, But The Coating Was Hard And Thick. The Tiny Teeth Of A Mouse Could Not Bite Into It.

The Irritated Mouse Prayed Loudly To God: “Oh God! Why Did You Give Me Such Tiny Teeth? I Have Food Here, But I Cannot Eat. “

Immediately He Heard The Voice Of God: “Dear Mouse, Go And Look At The Teeth Of Other Animals. Whoever Wants Teeth Will Be Given To You. “

So The Mouse Went Into The Forest Nearby. He Looked At The Teeth Of Many Of The Animals Living There. But He Didn’t Like Their Teeth At All. Finally, The Mouse Came Up To The Elephant.
