No, the rat is stronger than me, and I can't stand its sharp teeth. ”

At this time, a mouse was gnawing at the corner of the wall with its sharp teeth, and the mother mouse walked over and said kindly, "Young man, I can see that you are very powerful." Will you marry my daughter?

The rat listened happily and said, "Really? I do!
