When his daughter grew up, the man and his wife started looking for a groom for her. The girl wanted to marry the strongest person on earth. So the magician brought the sun to her to marry. The girl considered him too hot so she refused.
Then he brought the cloud to her. She didn't like him either as he was too big. Next, the man brought her the mountain. The girl thought that the mountain was too rough and stiff. Before leaving, the mountain told the man that a mouse is stronger than him as he could dig a hole in it with his sharp teeth. The girl liked the mouse so the man transformed her back into a mouse. The girl married the mouse after her transformation.
