Early in the morning, Big Tooth Mouse packed his luggage and quietly left. He was moving out—leaving behind Snoring Pig who always snored.
Snoring Pig was still sound asleep in bed, unaware of this. It is said that Big Tooth Mouse and Snoring Pig had been living together since their great-great-grandfather’s time.
In the camphor woods, Big Tooth Mouse met Sister Hedgehog who was up early exercising. He quickly approached her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Snoring Pig always snores, so I’m moving out!”
“What? You’re moving out?” Sister Hedgehog looked at him in surprise.
“Shh! Don’t tell anyone, it’s my little secret!” Big Tooth Mouse quickly covered Sister Hedgehog’s mouth, asking her to keep quiet.
Entering the radish forest, Big Tooth Mouse saw Powder Puff Rabbit who was grooming herself. He quickly approached her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Snoring Pig always snores, so I’m moving out!”
“What? You’re moving out?” Powder Puff Rabbit was also surprised.
“Shh! Don’t tell anyone, it’s my little secret!” Big Tooth Mouse quickly covered Powder Puff Rabbit’s mouth, asking her to keep quiet.
By the river, Red Fox, who was washing her face, noticed Big Tooth Mouse and asked, “Little Brother Big Tooth Mouse, where are you going?”
“Snoring Pig always snores, so I’m moving out!” Big Tooth Mouse quickly approached her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.
“What? You’re moving out?” Red Fox asked with wide eyes.
“Shh! Don’t tell anyone, it’s my little secret!” Big Tooth Mouse also asked her to keep quiet.
Big Tooth Mouse continued walking with his luggage, meeting Dingdang Cat, Well-behaved Sheep, Cackling Chicken… He told everyone that he was moving out and reminded them not to reveal his little secret.
After crossing a mountain, Big Tooth Mouse met Spotted Dog who was returning home from a night shift. Spotted Dog looked at him warily and asked, “What’s on your back?”
“These are my belongings. Snoring Pig always snores, so I’m moving out!” Big Tooth Mouse nervously whispered.
“Yes, yes, it’s good to move out early!” Spotted Dog said happily.
“This…” Big Tooth Mouse was stunned.
“Don’t you know? Everyone has been annoyed with you for a long time. Why do you keep gnawing on wood?” Spotted Dog voiced everyone’s thoughts.
Big Tooth Mouse touched his large front teeth. They were continuously growing and he had to gnaw on wood to keep them from growing too long, which would affect his daily life—just like his great-great-grandfather did.
After hearing Spotted Dog’s words, Big Tooth Mouse felt regretful. He realized that living with Snoring Pig wasn’t so bad: Snoring Pig naturally had a long nose and made echoing sounds when breathing, so it was normal for him to snore. His snoring and Big Tooth Mouse’s gnawing were like a harmonious melody…
“I haven’t even decided where to move yet!” Big Tooth Mouse had a sudden inspiration, patted his forehead, and started walking back with his luggage. He had changed his mind—not moving out.
Big Tooth Mouse walked quickly because he was worried that everyone would reveal his little secret about moving out, and if he was late, Snoring Pig might get angry and move somewhere else.
