Looking for a nice Chinese bedtime story for your kids? This is not it. Ms Mouse is a leftover mouse that's pressured into marriage by her parents, but the standards are so high they literally end up killing her. 
Ms Mouse only wants to marry the greatest of all. She wants the Sun, but he says the Cloud is greater than him. So she wants the Cloud, but he says the Wind blows him away. Then the Wind says the Wall is able to resist him. Then she wants the Wall but it says Mice can break him.
So she decides to marry someone greater than her own species: the Cat. The Cat agrees to marry her, and Ms Mouse and her parents are super content. Until the first week after marriage, when he eats her. She dies. There is no happy end. That's it.
At least there's a very useful lesson to be learned from this children's story. Don't pressure your kids into marriage, because it won't end pretty.
