Based on Persian poem.
Mouse takes hold of camel’s lead rope
and walked off with it singing same song as before “tra la la lee”, camel goes along,
letting the mouse feel heroic.
CAMEL Enjoy yourself, fool, soon I will teach you a lesson
On there walk they come a across bucket of water
Mouse looks very worried
CAMEL What are you waiting for? Step forward over the bucket You are my leader. Don’t stop here.
MOUSE I'm afraid of being drowned.
Camel steps into the water of the bucket.
CAMEL It’s only just above my feet, foolish mouse!
MOUSE Your feet! Your feet are ten times bigger than my tiny little head, I think I would certainly drown!
CAMEL Well, maybe you shouldn't be leading a camel. Stay with those like yourself. A mouse has nothing really to say to a camel.
MOUSE OK Yes I see now, please would you help me get across?
CAMEL Get up on my hump. I am made to take hundreds like you across. Phah!
Camel picks up mouse and takes her over the bucket
MOUSE Thank
you so much!
