So people hate real mice,but love Mickey Mouse. In his early life,Mickey made some mistakes. People were very angry,and they wrote to Disney. They said they did not want Mickey to do silly things. Because Mickey could not do all of the things,Disney made a new animal cartoon called Donald Duck(唐老鴨) . He also made a dog Pluto. This dog always does stupid things and makes mistakes.
