The Mouse and the Weasel丨Aesop’s Fables from Every Land

0:00Babybuzz! Once upon an Arabian night, the mouse and the weasel. Once upon a time, a poor woman lived in an old house full of holes. In one of these holes lived a cunning weasel. One day, the weasel was sleeping when he heard someone talking. Oh, this work is so tiring! The weasel peaked out of his hole and saw the woman complaining while soaking sesame seeds in water to peel them. She was making medicine for a sick person. It's finally done! Now I just need to dry the sesame seeds. The woman spread the peeled sesame seeds on a mat and left. The seeds were bright and shiny. It looks so delicious! I've got an idea! The weasel looked around, then quickly jumped out of the hole. Haha, no one's here. Time to steal them.

1:01The weasel moved incredibly fast. The sesame seeds were stolen in the blink of an eye. Just then, the woman returned. Oh, no! Who did this? The weasel was startled by the woman's voice and quietly observed her from the hole. Who stole my sesame seeds? I need to catch them and give them a good beating. The woman was furious. Oh no! I'll have to stay in this hole forever! What should I do? Wait! I have an idea! Suddenly, the weasel deliberately sighed loudly for the woman to hear. Oh, who did that? This is terrible! The woman turned around and saw the weasel coming out of the hole with the sesame seeds. Oh, I hate sesame seeds! Who put these in my house? Stealing such important sesame seeds is such a bad thing to do! The weasel returned the seeds and angrily went back into his hole.

2:04Oh! You returned the stolen sesame seeds! You're such a kind weasel! Seeing the woman happy, the weasel felt relieved, but the woman didn't leave. Even though the sesame seeds are back, I still won't feel comfortable until I catch the thief. The woman sat down with a stick. This isn't good. If she stays, I can't steal the seeds. Hmm... Ah-ha! I have another idea! The weasel ran over to the mouse next door. Hey, mouse, come out! I have some good news. There's delicious food! Squeak? What delicious food? The mouse, a foodie, got excited at the mention of food. Quick, tell me what delicious food is it! No need to rush. The woman has prepared a pile of sesame seeds for us. They're delicious. I've already eaten so much.

3:05Really? Can I eat some too? Of course. The ones on the mat are all yours. Great! The mouse got very excited. Ha-ha-ha! He completely fell for it. Squeak, squeak, squeak! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water! The mouse ran out of his hole toward the mat, covered with sesame seeds. The shiny seeds looked delicious. Wow, they're so shiny! They smell so good! Can I eat all of these? Let me pinch myself. Ouch! It's not a dream! Squeak, squeak, squeak! At that moment, the woman guarding the sesame seeds made eye contact with the mouse. The mouse bowed to the woman who was confused by his action. Thank you for preparing such delicious food for me. I'll go ahead and dig in. The mouse gobbled up the sesame seeds and the woman stared in shock.

4:05Wow, they're so yummy! I've never had anything this good before. Squeak, squeak! Seeing the mouse greedily eating her hard-peeled sesame seeds, the woman shouted angrily. You sneaky mouse! It was you who stole them! The woman hit the mouse with a stick! Ouch! What's going on? Why am I being called a thief? While the woman chased the mouse, the weasel sneaked out of its hole and quietly stole the sesame seeds. Haha, no one's watching now. I can eat the sesame seeds in peace. The mouse is so easy to trick. What a foodie! And so, the greedy mouse suffered. While the weasel ate to his heart's content. The end. Question time. Hey kids, if you were the mouse, what would you do when the weasel told you about the sesame seeds? Tell us in the comments if you want to shout out.
