Little mouse had a sudden urge for durians which he had never tried before. He asked his friends what the fruit tastes like. His friends, who have never tasted the fruit neither, all gave him an imaginary, satisfactory answer. When little mouse did get the durian from the market, all his friends scattered away because of the strong and strange smell. Little mouse finally took a bite of durian and found out it's not that bad at all.
