Delusions of Grandeur

Why does the mouse disguise itself as a rat? Because it has delusions of grandeur. The mouse thinks it must win in life, And to win in life is to be intimidating; To make a name for yourself. Rats are feared, but who would fear a mouse? A mouse, with its big ears and adorable whiskers— A mouse is but a small creature, Whereas the rat is haggard and diseased. So why does the mouse disguise itself as a rat? To be anything it is not. Because it is better to be feared than undermined.
