Once upon a time, there was a poor mouse who lived in a small village. Despite his poverty, he was always fascinated by the rich culture of music that surrounded him. He longed to become an influential musician who could produce beautiful sounds with his tiny voice.

One day, while exploring the village, the mouse stumbled upon an old amplifier. He was inspired to use it to amplify his voice and produce music that would influence the entire village. With the help of the amplifier, the mouse soon became an important musical figure and his commentary on financial issues through his music caught the attention of the mainstream media.

However, one day, a group of mischievous cats entered the mouse's studio and defaced the amplifier. The mouse was devastated, as he felt that the amplifier was a crucial element of his music. But then he realized that the true power of his music came from within and that he didn't need any external devices to produce beautiful sounds.

And so, the mouse continued to perform, spreading his message of hope and resilience through his music, and inspiring others to never give up on their dreams no matter their financial situation. The end.
