by 璇玑

Walt Disney is a great fi lm-maker. He was born in 1901.When he was a young man, he often sat in the family garage and drew pictures there. One day a mouse came into the garage and played on the fl oor. He stopped drawing and watched the mouse. The mouse came towards him, so he gave the mouse a piece of bread. They became good friends.

Some years later, Disney moved to the USA. He wanted to be an artist, but he was unsuccessful. One day he remembered the mouse in his father’s garage. He started to draw. At last he was happy with one of his pictures of the mouse. He called it Mickey Mouse.

Later he made many cartoons. Children liked his cartoons very much. He died in 1966.
