In order to avenge the cat, the mouse set off quietly in the early morning of the first month of the first month. Although the mouse started very early, it ran very fast, but when it reached the wide river, it faced the water of the Taotao. It was awkward and had to sit on the river and wait for other animals to cross the river and jump on their backs. Use their power to cross the river. After waiting for a while, the earliest cow went silently and step by step to the river. When the mouse yak broke into the water, he jumped agilely into the ear of the cow. The cow was usually praised for being generous and helpful. It does not care about the speculation of rats. After crossing the river, the mouse felt comfortable in the ear of the cow, and saved effort and did not jump down. When the day was near noon, the cow carried the mouse to the door of the Jade Emperor. When the cow just wanted to enter the door, who knows the mouse forced I didn&#8217;t hurry to get out of the cow&#8217;s ear and jumped to the front of the Jade Emperor.
