Japan Nezumi Yomeiri

tale:japan_nezumi_yomeiri

A pair of mice, seeking the mightiest husband in the world for their daughter, go first to the Sun — who yields to the Cloud that hides him, who yields to the Wind that scatters it, who yields to the Wall that stops it, who yields to the Mouse that gnaws it through. So they wed their daughter to a mouse after all. Moral: each power has its master, and one's own kind may be the strongest match. — Japanese folktale
