La Ratita Presumida

In a cozy yet slightly eerie little house at the edge of the forest lived a little mouse named Rosa. Rosa was known as the tidiest mouse in town. Her tiny wooden house was filled with intriguing objects—a cabinet of shiny buttons, shelves lined with colorful thread spools, and a small collection of glimmering teacups. Everywhere you looked, Rosa's home sparkled and shone, reflecting her meticulous nature. One fine morning, as Rosa was sweeping the floor, she found an unusual gold coin hidden beneath the rug. "Oh my! What a lucky find," she squeaked with joy. "What should I buy with it?" She thought and thought until she decided to buy a beautiful ribbon for her tail, a ribbon as blue as the sky on a clear day. After all, what could be more delightful than a touch of elegance? Rosa's new ribbon caught everyone's attention. The moment she stepped outside her house, all the animals from the forest gathered around. "Would you marry me, Rosa?" asked Señor Rooster with a grand flutter of his feathers. "I can sing a beautiful dawn chorus for you every morning." Rosa tilted her head and asked, "What do you sound like?" Señor Rooster puffed up his chest and crowed, "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" "Oh no," replied Rosa, covering her ears. "Your voice is much too loud for my peaceful mornings. I cannot marry you." Next came Don Piggy, who remarked, "Marry me, Rosa, and I'll help you find the finest truffles in the forest." Intrigued, Rosa asked, "What do you sound like?" Don Piggy grinned and oinked, "Oink, oink!" "Goodness, no," Rosa laughed. "Your oinks are much too rough for my delicate ears. I cannot marry you." Then approached Señor Cat, sleek and sly. "I can provide comfort and warmth for you, Rosa. Would you marry me?" he purred. Rosa, curious, asked, "What do you sound like?" With a sly grin, Señor Cat meowed, "Meow, meow!" Rosa thought for a moment and replied, "Your voice is soft and gentle, but I fear you might have eyes on my dear friends. I cannot marry you." Lastly, a humble little mouse named Mario approached Rosa. "I don't have much to offer," he said softly, "but I can promise to make you happy and cherish you every day." "What do you sound like?" Rosa asked, half-expecting a loud or unsettling answer. Mario smiled and whispered, "Squeak, squeak." Rosa’s heart warmed at his gentle sound. "It's perfect," she said with a smile. "I would be honored to marry you, Mario." The very next day, Rosa and Mario held a joyous wedding in the heart of the forest, attended by all their friends who had gathered to celebrate their love. Don Piggy and Señor Rooster sang jovial songs, while Señor Cat played the fiddle, ensuring everyone had a wonderful time. From that day forward, Rosa and Mario lived happily in their cozy house, where the gentle sounds of their combined lives filled the air with delightful harmony. And each time they sang together, it was the sweetest melody the forest had ever heard.
