The Most powerful one

Prepared by: Reo Paolo M. Uri

One day a (mighty, mightier) magician went swimming. He saw a huge mouse drowning in the river. He pulled the mouse out the cold water and changed in into a beautiful maiden. She was so lovely that the magician thought he would try to find her the (more splendid) husband of all.

Magician: Marry the sun! 

Lady: No, I won't marry the sun. It hasn't any legs and has fiery arms. All day it wanders around the would and at night it disappears. And anyway, it already has two wives light and shade.

Magician: But the sun is the most powerful.

Sun: No, I'm not the most powerful. A cloud is more stronger than I am. It wants, it can hide me.

Magician: Lady, marry a cloud, then!

Lady: No, I won't marry a cloud, A cloud is black and water flows from it. No one likes clouds. They make everything wet. And then a cloud has a wicked son. Lightning.

Magician: But the cloud is the most powerful.

Cloud: But I'm not the most powerful. The wind is more stronger. It wants it can blow me away.

Magician: Marry the wind.

Lady: No I won't marry the wind. Its always running somewhere, annoying people, and if it touches things they break and dry up. I don't want to marry the wind.

Magician: Marry the wind is the most powerful.

Wind: I' not the most powerful. The hill more stronger. I always dash myself to pieces against hit.

Magician: Marry the hill, then! 

Lady: No I won't marry the hill. Its nothing but stones and thistles. What would I do with a  hill?

Hill: But the mouse is the most powerful, Brother mouse id more stronger, He can grow away and undermine me, if he chooses.

Magician: Will you marry brother mouse, then?

Lady:Yes.

The lady smiled at the mouse with strong, sharp teeth and read eyes. The magician changed the girl back to a mouse and she ran off with the other mouse into a field.
