People usually hate mice（老鼠）, but one mouse owns the hearts of the people all over the world-the famous Mickey Mouse.
 Fifty years ago, most films had no sound. A man named Walt Disney made a cartoon(卡通) mouse that could talk in these films. He named his mouse Mickey Mouse. Soon Mickey Mouse became a good friend of both young and old people . Mickey is clean mouse right from the beginning. Perhaps this is why people love Mickey Mouse. In his early life Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry. They wrote to Disney and said that they didn’t want Mickey to do wrong things. As there were many things that Mickey could not do, Disney made a new animal named Donald Duck. He also made a dog, Pluto. This dog does foolish things and makes mistakes wherever he goes. Now our Mickey Mouse is not only clean, but more interesting. He came out as a star of beauty and wisdom(智慧). He has friends in almost every country.
