The Little Mouse that Wanted to Appear Human
Based on a tale by Emma Moshkovskaya
I look like one.
I'm just like one!
Please tell me, do I look like a human?
A human being?
You look like a funny little mouse
who, for some reason, has put on trousers.
Well? Now I'm surely just like a human being.
You look like a silly little mouse
who's put on glasses.
Only a silly little mouse?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Unfortunately, yes.
I got it.
I figured it out!
Now I know how to become human-like!
Look at this!
Well?
What about now?
You still don't look like a human being, mouse.
Not at all.
What happened?
He fell down the well.
And you saved him?
Yeah.
But now
I don't look like a human being at all.
Not even a little bit.
No, little mouse,
it is only now that you clearly appear to be
a human being.
Really?
