People all over the world don’t like mice，but they like one mouse—the famous Mickey Mouse. More than fifty years ago，most films were silent(无声的) .An American called Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse. The mouse could talk in his films. He called his mouse Mickey Mouse. People were excited at Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse became very successful and popular.

Both young people and old people enjoyed Mickey Mouse. They loved to see their lovely friend,because he brought joy and laughter to them. Mickey was a clean mouse from the beginning. So people hate real mice,but love Mickey Mouse. In his early life,Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry,and they wrote to Disney. They said they did not want Mickey to do silly things. Because Mickey could not do all of the things,Disney made a new animal cartoon called Donald Duck(唐老鸭) . He also made a dog Pluto. This dog always does stupid things and makes mistakes.
