The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage

Once upon a time, a mouse, a bird, and a sausage became friends. They lived together and were very happy. Each had a job: the bird flew into the forest every day to bring back wood, the mouse carried water, lit the fire, and set the table, and the sausage cooked the food.

One day, the bird met another bird in the forest. The bird told the other bird how happy they were. But the other bird said the bird was doing too much work and that the mouse and the sausage had an easy life. The mouse only had to light the fire, carry water, and then rest until it was time to set the table. The sausage just stayed by the pot and cooked the food. When it was almost time to eat, the sausage would roll through the soup or vegetables to make them tasty.

The bird thought this was unfair and decided they should all switch jobs. Even though the mouse and the sausage did not want to change, the bird insisted. So, they agreed to switch.

The next day, the sausage went to get wood, the bird lit the fire, and the mouse stayed by the pot to cook. But the sausage took a long time to come back. The bird flew out to look for it and found a dog who had eaten the sausage. The dog said the sausage had done something wrong, so it had eaten it.

The bird went back home and told the mouse what had happened. They were very sad but decided to stay together and do their best. The bird set the table, and the mouse started to cook. The mouse tried to cook like the sausage did, by rolling in the pot, but it got hurt and died.

When the bird came to check on dinner, there was no mouse. The bird looked everywhere but could not find the mouse. In its hurry, the bird knocked over the wood and started a fire. The bird tried to get water from the well, but it fell in and drowned.

In the end, all three friends, who were once happy when they worked together, were gone because they tried to change their jobs.
