The Mouse Who Jumped

 

Once there was this mouse who was getting dressed. He was getting ready to go somewhere and putting on his belt which had been made from a part of a bearded seal's stomach. While he was doing this the belt broke. As a replacement he tried many different things, but they also kept breaking. After trying many things, he thought about trying trying grass which is usually used for basket making.

He asked himself, "What shall I use for a belt that is unbreakable because all the things I have tried so far have broken."

After picking the grass he tied every end together. Then he tested it out, but it never broke.

"This is great, it is strong," he thought. " I should have tried these before trying all those other weak things." Then he got all of his gear ready and went down to the beach. When he got to what he thought was the edge of the water, he knew he would have to jump across a wide space onto the ice. So he started swinging back and forth and singing:

"Anina, anina, anina-anina."

But he chickened out because he thought he wouldn't make it across the water.

Again he tried, and started swinging back and forth, singing his song:

"Anina, anina, anina-anina."

But he changed his mind again. Finally, he said, "I don't care if I make it this time. I'll just try again." Then he started swinging again, singing his song:

"Anina, anina, anina-anina mecek."

Then he jumped what seemed a very very long distance and landed on the other side of what he thought was sea water, and far far, from the bank.

"Eeeheeheehee, I thought I would never make it,"he commented to himself.

But after he landed he looked back and saw that what he had thought was the sea was only a footprint on the snow!! And that is all!!
