Once upon a time, there was a little boy mouse named Boy Mouse. Boy Mouse was a very kind and gentle mouse. He loved to play with his friends and explore the forest. One day, Boy Mouse was playing in the forest when he saw a spider. The spider was white, and Boy Mouse had never seen a white spider before.

Boy Mouse was curious about the spider, so he went over to it and said, "Hello, spider. My name is Boy Mouse. What's your name?"

The spider turned to Boy Mouse and said, "My name is White. It's nice to meet you, Boy Mouse."

Boy Mouse and White talked for a while, and they quickly became friends. They played games together and told each other stories. Boy Mouse learned that White was a very kind and gentle spider, just like him.

One day, Boy Mouse and White were playing in the forest when they came across a group of other mice. The mice saw White and started to laugh at him.

"Look at that spider!" one of the mice said. "He's so white! He's so ugly!"

The other mice laughed along with him. Boy Mouse was angry. He didn't like it when his friends were mean to others.

"Leave him alone!" Boy Mouse said. "White is my friend. He's not ugly. He's beautiful."

The mice were surprised. They had never heard Boy Mouse talk like that before.

"What's wrong with you, Boy Mouse?" one of the mice asked. "Why are you defending that spider?"

"Because he's my friend," Boy Mouse said. "And it's not right to make fun of someone just because they're different."

The mice were quiet for a moment. They had never thought about it that way before.

"You're right, Boy Mouse," one of the mice said. "It's not right to make fun of someone just because they're different."

The other mice agreed. They apologized to White for laughing at him, and they all became friends.

Boy Mouse and White continued to be friends for many years. They taught the other mice in the forest about the importance of being kind to others, even if they are different. And they lived happily ever after.

The end.
