The Mice girls story

Don´t want to be vain. Just want to be plain.
The tale is from Spain and pictures are from Finland.

In Miceland, after her hit sensation story, the mouse girl´s hair bow was copied by all the other mice girls. They wore bows all over their body. From early childhood, they wore little pretty dresses, laces, high heels and plenty of bows around their neighbourhood.

At school they usually sat down with great care, for not to crease, break, spoil or lose their little pretty dresses, laces, high heels and plenty of bows. No effort was spare.

The pretty dresses, laces, high heels and plenty of bows during break time were a pain. In the playground they walk slow and all the mice girls were bored because of being vain.

The mice boys played football, played ”it”, played in the swings.
They were all happy and merry. And… why were mice girls bored? What were they doing? They paced up and down the playground. They were afraid of kicking, running, swinging or climbing…

All because the pretty dresses, laces, high heels and plenty of bows could get spoilt.

One day Linamouse could not take any more boredom.
Started to run, she kicked, climbed, swung and she had a lot of fun!
And most she creased, broke, spoiled the pretty dress, laces, high heels and her bows were all lost.

The very next day, her parents understood that a mice girl has the same right to play as a mice boy. Not only carefully sitting in a chair. And all the pretty dresses, laces, high heels and plenty of bows were better for special occasions.
From then on all the mice girls decided that
They do not want to be vain.
