It was very hot, and “Topsy-Turvy” the little mouse went swimming. Fuzzy Ball also wanted to go, but he took the wrong path and ended up wandering into the forest in a daze.
A little turtle was slowly crawling through the forest, carrying a big bell on its back. The bell was very beautiful, made up of four colors: green, red, yellow, and blue.
Seeing that the little turtle was quite tired, Fuzzy Ball said, “Let me help you carry that. I’m strong.” The little turtle replied, “Thank you, but you must be careful not to take out the cotton inside the bell.”
Oh! It turned out that the “four-colored bell” was stuffed with a lot of cotton, which was why it didn’t ring.
Fuzzy Ball carefully held the bell in his hands and walked until he reached the swimming pool. The little mice were swimming there.
Fuzzy Ball was so happy that he loosened his grip, and the cotton inside the bell fell out.
“Ding-a-ling…” The bell made a crisp sound.
A miracle happened—the branches beside the swimming pool started to bloom with beautiful flowers.
Fuzzy Ball was very happy and tried ringing the bell again. “Ding-a-ling…” Little fruits appeared on the trees, and the fruits slowly grew larger.
This was wonderful! He decided to try shaking it again. Fuzzy Ball held the bell and shook it vigorously. The little turtle saw from a distance and hurriedly shouted, “Don’t shake it, don’t shake it!” But the little turtle crawled too slowly and was too far away for Fuzzy Ball to hear him.
It turned out that this “four-colored bell” controlled the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Now things were a mess. Fuzzy Ball had brought autumn, and all the leaves turned yellow. Fuzzy Ball also brought winter, and it started snowing heavily. The swimming pool froze over. The four little mice, still in their swimsuits, shivered from the cold and almost turned into popsicles.
