The heart of a mouse

A mouse was in constant distress bescause of its fear of the cat. A magician took pity on it and turned it into a cat. But then it became afraid of the dog, so the magician turned it into a dog. Then it began to fear the panther, so the magician turned it into a panther. Whereupon it was full fear for the hunter. At this point, the magician gave up. He turned it into a mouse again, saying, "Nothing I do for you is going to be of any help, because you have the heart of a mouse."
