Hearing the birds singing outside, Little Brown Mouse got his head out of his hole. It was a sunny, bright morning. He smelled something special. And he knew exactly what it was. He was very excited and hoped to tell the secret(秘密) to others.
Little Brown Mouse ran to tell the grassland, but the grassland had already known. It said to him happily, "Look! Here are lots of beautiful flowers. They're blooming one by one. And the grass is turning green. "
Little Brown Mouse ran to tell the pond, but the pond had known, too. The daffodils(水仙花) along its bank had given away the secret. He also saw some fish swimming in the water. He heard the frogs singing here and there. "I will tell the peach tree!" said Little Brown Mouse. But when he got to the peach tree, he heard the wind telling the secret to the new baby flowers. A few birds were flying up and down there, singing a happy song.
Little Brown Mouse felt a little sad. Suddenly, he knew just who to tell. He ran back home, shouting, "Wake up, Brother Mouse and Sister Mouse. It's spring!"
