Boon To A She Mouse! Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

Sacred saint sat in meditation,
When he heard the scream
Of a child she mouse
Which took to being rescued
From a kite which tried
To catch her and eat her,
The saint opened his eyes
And transformed the mouse
Into a beautiful firl child
Bringing her upto
Her marriagable age,
Asked her whom she will marry
Who said she will marry
The mightiest being on earth,
The saint brought the sun,
Who was asked by her
Who is mightier than him,
And was replied the clouds
Who blocked him, who said,
That the wind drove him,
Who said the mountain stopped
His journey, who said The mouse
Was mightier making holes
Into his sides, the girl
Wished to marry the mouse,
Whcih boon was granted
The wish and transformed
Her into a female mouse
Married her off with blessings,
Thus a she nouse became
A she mouse like nature
Made her as an offspring,
Proving we like our own kind,
Whatever boon we get
From anyone and cannot
Stand a change for long.
