Mice
Character Tones in "Mouse
Maid Made Mouse"
Narrator: On the bank of the river Ganges, there
lived a hermit, we will call Guru, and his wife. They
do not have a child. One day, while the hermit was
bathing in the river, a hawk dropped a mouse which
fell into his hands. By the power of meditation, he
transformed the female mouse into a little girl and
took her home to his wife. When it was time for the
girl to marry, Guru was determined to find her a
good husband.
By the power of invocation, the Guru summoned the Sun God to him.
Sun God: (In a moment the Sun God appeared before the
Guru) Guru, why have you called
me?
Guru: If this daughter of mine is willing to marry you,
please accept her hand. Daughter, do you accept the Sun
God, who lights up the world as your husband?
Daughter: Father, he is too fiery-tempered. I don't want to
marry him. Find me someone
better!
Guru: My Sun God, is there anyone better than you?
Sun God: Yes, the King of the Clouds is superior to me, for
when he covers me, I am no longer visible.
Narrator: The Guru invited the King of the Clouds.
Guru: My child, may I offer you hand to the King of Clouds?
Daughter: Father, he is dark and too cold. I don't want to marry him. Find me someone
better!
Guru: Oh, King of the Clouds! Is there anyone better than you?
King of Clouds: Yes, the Lord of the Wind is superior to me, for he makes me drift.
Narrator: So, the Guru invited the Lord of the Wind
Guru: My daughter, what do you say to him?
Daughter: Father, he is very changeable. I don't want to marry him. Find me someone
better.
Guru: My Lord, is there anyone better than you?
Lord of Wind: Yes, the Lord of the Mountains is superior to me, for although I am strong, he
prevents me from blowing where I want to.
Narrator: And so, Guru invited the Lord of Mountains.
Guru: Now I am offering you to him.
Daughter: Father, he is hard and immovable. I don't want to marry him. Find me someone
better.
Guru: Lord of the Mountains, is there anyone better than you?
Lord of Mountains: Yes, the mice are superior to me, for they bore holes in my body.
Narrator: And so, the Guru invited the King of Mice.
Guru: Now my little daughter, I'm going to offer you the King of Mice. Do you like him?
Daughter: (The girl looked at the King of Mice, her whole body began to quiver with
delight.) Oh father, he is the best of all! Please turn me into a mouse, so that after my
marriage to the King of Mice, I shall be able to perform the household duties of my new
clan.
Narrator: By the power of the Guru’s meditation, he turned his daughter back into a mouse
and gave her in marriage to the king of mice.
