There is a tradition among the mice who participate in the Lunar New Year celebrations. Some mice exchange red envelopes with each other, filled with gold that they have looted from poor, unsuspecting hunters. Red boxes, red envelopes? Coincidence? We think not.
Eh! How you doin'? You caught the Romeno Mouse, the Romeo Mouse's number-one wing man! He may have a bit of a spare tire on the old midsection, but that's just more Romeno for the lady mice to love, uh? Uh? You can catch him out on the dance floor every night at the Rodent Cabana, pulling all the latest disco moves like it's 1976. To all the lady mice that don't like his style, he says: C'maaaaaan. . . lemme be *your* hero sandwich, baby!
The lady mice love confidence, and the Romeo Mouse has got it in spades. He's also got a set of abs that he can form into various letters of the alphabet. Impressed yet? You know you are. Some might think that someone as attractive as the Romeo mouse might be unavailable, but they would be wrong. He's got plenty of time between posing for romance novel covers to meet a new lady friend.
Usually, there are two mice who dance in this costume for the New Years parade, but this year the mouse that holds up the back end of the tiger costume was sick. So, its partner gets to have all the fun, dancing in the parade, eating all the candy, nearly getting squished by a multitude of Onyx Mallet traps set out by hunters. . . On second thought, maybe the sick mouse was the luckier partner after all.
With hard work, commitment to using only the finest ingredients, and an impressive sense of balance, the Dumpling Chef Mouse makes its living cooking dumplings for the bewhiskered masses. It serves thousands of dumplings a day to hungry travelers, filled with seasoned grass, wheat seeds, and, plenty of cheese, of course. The most popular of its dumplings is the Furoma Firecracker, filled with cheddar, provolone, and an extra-spicy monterey jack!
