“Once upon a time these were two Rats, who had many fine children;
but (the one) they loved most was their youngest daughter. She was a
nice little Rat. She had the most beautiful grey coat, and the brightest
little eyes, and such deer little ears! And her parents thought that she
was the most beautiful rat in the world.
When she was old enough to marry, they began to thing of her future
husband.
“She must have a very mighty husband,” they said. “No one but the
mightiest in the world shall marry our beautiful daughter.” But who was
the mightiest? It was not easy to tell, and they didn’t know. So they
went to a very old and clever rat, and asked him. His answer was:”If you
wish to give your daughter to the mightiest of all, then go to the Sun,
and ask him to be your daughter’s husband. I am sure no one is
mightier than the Sun”
Speaking
The student’s roles play the dialog from the text.
So Mr. and Mrs. Rat went to the Sun (and it was a very long way) and ask him
to marry their daughter. But the Sun answered, ”It is very nice of you to come all
this way and ask me to marry your daughter, but please tell me, why did you
choose me?’
“We chose you, because we wish to give her to the mightier in the whole
world; and, of course, no one can be mightiest then you.”
“I see,” said the Sun, “but I’m afraid it is not true, there is one mightier then I
am, and you must give you daughter to him.”
“Who can be mightier then you?” asked Mr. Rat, and the Sun answered,
“When I wash to shine on the earth, a Cloud often comes along, and my light
cannot pass though it or drive it away. You must go to the Cloud.”
So Mr. and Mrs. Rat went to the Cloud and told him their wish.
“I am not the mightiest, “said the Cloud.” The wind is mightiest than I. When
the Wind blows, he drives me along and I cannot do nothing against him.”
So Mr. and Mrs. Rat went to the Wind.
But the Wind said, “Yes I am mightiest then the Cloud. But I am not
mightiest in the world; the wall is sometimes in my way, and I blow and
blow, but the Wall is still there and I cannot pass through it.”
Again Mr. and Mrs. Rat went on, till they came to the Wall. But
the wall said, “You are right. I am mightier then Wind. But there is the
Rat, who makes holes in me – and I can do nothing against him. The
best thing for you to do is to choose the Rat for your daughter’s
husband.’’
Then Mr. and Mrs. Rat were happy, because the saw that the Wall
was right. They came back home and their beautiful daughter married
the Rat; and the lived happily for many, many years. Who knows?
Perhaps they are still alive.”
