God only gives him a mouse

The flood of human life rushes, without encountering islands and reefs, it is difficult to stir up beautiful waves.

--Ostrovsky

This is a lonely young painter who has nothing but ideals.

For the sake of ideals, he resolutely went out to travel to Kansas City to make a living.

At first he went to a newspaper to apply for it and wanted to work for them. There is a good artistic atmosphere around the editorial department, which is exactly what he needs. However, after reading his work, the editor-in-chief shook his head and thought that the work lacked new ideas and was not hired.

This made him feel extremely disappointed and lost. Like all the young people who went out to fight the world, he first tasted the taste of failure.

Later, he finally found a job to paint for the church. However, the pay was extremely low. He was unable to rent a room and had to borrow an abandoned garage as a temporary office. He worked hard in the petrol-filled garage every day until late at night.

Especially annoying is that every time you turn off the lights and sleep, you can hear the squeaking of the mouse and the sound of jumping on the floor. In order to have enough energy to work tomorrow, he is patient. Maybe it's too tired, he can sleep on the floor. In this way, a rat and a poor painter live together in peace, which makes this deserted garage full of life.

One day, when the tired painter looked up, he saw a pair of sparkling little eyes under the dim light. It was a little mouse. If it was a few years ago, he would design various tricks to kill the mouse, but now he is not, is a dead mouse more interesting than a live mouse? The tribulation has made him possess the sadness and sorrow of the great artists. He smiled and stared at the cute elf, but it was as blind as a shadow.

The wind screamed outside the window. He listened to the sound of the sound of the sky and felt that he was not alone. So there was a mouse next to him. It would come, like a shy little girl. With this belief, he buried his head.

The little mouse really appeared again and again, not just at night. He has never hurt it, not even scared. It does a variety of sports on the floor and performs wonderful acrobatics. And as the only audience, he won a little bread crumbs. Gradually, they trusted each other and established friendship with each other. The mouse was far away from him. Seeing that he did not hurt it, he was a little closer. In the end, the mouse dared to climb up to the drawing board of his work and jumped rhythmically on it. And he, never will drive away from it, but silently enjoy the affection of being close to it.

Soon, the young painter left Kansas City and was introduced to Hollywood to make an animal-based cartoon. This is an opportunity that he could hardly get. He seems to see the ideal door open a seam. But unfortunately, he failed again, not only because he was so poor, and he was unemployed again.

How many sleepless nights he was thinking hard in the dark, he doubted his talent, doubted that he was really worthless, he was thinking about his way out. Finally, one night, just when he was overwhelmed, he suddenly remembered the mouse that climbed to his drawing board in the Kansas City garage, and the inspiration flashed a dazzling light in the dark night.

He quickly climbed up, pulled the light up, raised the easel, and immediately drew the outline of a mouse.

In history, the greatest animal cartoon image, Mickey Mouse, was born in an ordinary way. Inspiration only favors those thinking minds.

This young painter was one of the most prestigious figures in the United States - the talented Walt Disney.
