Mimi the beaver
Mimi the beaver has a dream of being an architect. When he grows up, he carries his bags on his back, bids farewell to his parents and swims to the distant water in great strides. Mimi found two beautiful areas of water where he wanted to build a home of his own -- a villa surrounded by water. Mimi looked at the trees around her, listened to the sweet songs of the birds, and began to think about the future. He imagined the beautiful villa: a living room, a kitchen, ten guest rooms, and of course rooms for himself and his future beloved beaver girl... "Wow, what happiness! Mimi couldn't contain her joy... First, he had to build a dike to keep the water from flooding his house. Mimi's thoughtful, but building a dike is a big job. Mimi was so hard. He gnawed the tree trunk with his sharp teeth and let it fall into the water. After he had eaten a few, he fell flat on his stomach. But Mimi, the industrious architect, took a break and went on gnawing the tree trunk from day to night. The problem was how to get the tree trunk to the body of water where he was going to build his house. So Mimi begged Brother Water to help carry it. Water elder brother listened very proud: "Mimi, today I can help you carry the trunk, tomorrow I can also break your dike, it all depends on my mood!" Mimi was so happy that he only heard the first part of the sentence and didn't hear what the second part was. After the elder brother carried the tree trunk to the water that Mimi wanted, Mimi began to stick the trunk upright into the mud. Mimi's diligence was seen by many nearby beavers. They were moved by Mimi and helped her find stones to tie down the tree trunks. Soon Mimi's dam was built. Then Mimi's villa was finished. The round roof, viewed from a distance, looked like a charcoal kiln with a diameter of 23 meters. The thick walls were coated with clay. Inside were spacious dry bedrooms with a front door and a back door. The name of the villa is "The Family of Rice Grains". Because Mimi married a beaver girl named Granular who came to help. Mimi asks everyone to toast at the "Rice House", but careless Mimi forgets to invite the water brother. Brother Water was a little angry. If I didn't help carry the tree trunk, you could have built the house so smoothly? Brother Water decided to teach Mimi a lesson. The next morning, when Mimi and granular are still immersed in sleep, the ear suddenly came a roar. The original water brother impulse, full strength to hit the dam, the dam was destroyed! "Rice House" was also seriously damaged by the water brother. "Many of the animals saw this, and felt sorry for the hardworking Mimi, so they decided to help her build a stronger dike -- a dike made of many big stones. And those who heard the news came to the beaver friends also hastened to help: soon, the dam was repaired, "rice home" is also repaired. It was better and stronger than the last one. To celebrate this great victory, Mimi invited many neighbors, but this time he did not forget to invite his brother Water. And the water brother knew he made a big mistake, in the celebration day, he did not dare to attend, but quietly sent a letter of apology, and quietly flow away.Because Mimi to invite
