　　People usually hate mice，but one mouse has won the hearts of the people all over the world---the famous Mickey Mouse．

　　Fifty years ago most movies were silent．A man called Walt Disney made a cartoon mouse that could talk his movies．He named his mouse Mickey Mouse．People，both young and old，were very excited at the talking mouse．Children loved to see their friend，because he brought joy and laughter to them．

　　Mickey was a clean mouse right from the beginning．Perhaps this is one reason why people hate real mice and love Mickey Mouse．In his early life Mickey made some mistakes．People were angry．They wrote to Disney and said that they did not want Mickey to do silly things．So Disney made a new animal named Donald Duck．He also made a dog called Pluto．This dog does stupid things and makes mistakes wherever he goes．Now our Mickey Mouse is not only clean but also important．He appears as a beautiful and clever star．He has his friends in almost every country．
