　　People usually don't like mice (老鼠, mouse的复数) , but one mouse has won the hearts of the people all over the world . That is the famous Mickey Mouse .

　　A long time ago most films were silent (no sound ) . A man called Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse that could talk in his films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse. People were very excited with the talking mouse. Soon Mickey became very popular with (受欢迎) both young and old people. Children love to see their lovely friend, because he brought joy and laughter (欢笑) to them. Mickey was a clean mouse after he was born. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse though they don't like real mice.

　　In his early life, Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they didn't want Mickey to do silly things . As there were some silly things Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal Donald Duck. He also made a dog named Pluto. This dog does silly things and makes mistakes wherever he goes . Now our Mickey is not only clean, but more important. He becomes a beautiful and clever star.
