A mouse was running through the meadow and eating fresh, juicy grass. Suddenly the wind blew, it started to rain, the mouse got wet and hid in the grass. A huge elk with branchy antlers came out of the forest to feast on clean grass. Wandered, wandered through the meadow, nibbled grass and... I accidentally swallowed a mouse along with the grass.
Sitting in the moose's stomach, the mouse says:
“I sharpen my knife, I’ll cut the moose’s throat, and I’ll be released.”
“Don’t cut my throat,” the elk says, “come out through my mouth.”
“Your mouth is slobbering,” the mouse answers. And she started screaming again: “I’ll sharpen the knife, I’ll cut the moose’s throat, and I’ll go free!”
“Don’t cut my throat, come out through my nose,” the elk asked.
“No, your nose is wet...” And the mouse began to shout even louder: “I’ll sharpen the knife, I’ll cut the moose’s throat, and I’ll go free.”
“Don’t cut me,” the elk begged, “come out through the holes in my ears!” No, there's wax in your ears! - And the mouse began to shout even louder: “I’ll sharpen the knife, I’ll cut the moose’s throat, I’ll be released!”
So she cut it, went free, and skinned the elk.
She filled seven barns with elk meat and filled seven storage sheds.
I ate the meat of this elk, and maybe you tried it too.
