Spirit animal mice
Spirit animal mice are the guide to happiness and success. They are very hard-working creatures and stay active throughout the night. You seldom will see them resting in the dark. They move quickly and search for food. So, a mouse spirit animal is a reminder that if you work hard, you’ll be rewarded.

You can find mice of different colors, and gray is one of them. Gray mice are very gentle and shy in nature. A gray mouse spirit animal reminds you that you don’t need people’s attention to be successful. You have the power and the wisdom to do it by yourself.
There is a popular phrase in the Russian language, that is “Серая мышь.” The English translation is “Gray mouse.” When someone refers to a person as a gray mouse, he means the person is very shy and doesn’t like to attract attention. The phrase usually refers to a woman or a young girl.
Mouse spirit animal traits
Let me recite a mice poem for you,
“I think mice are rather nice;
Their tails are long, their faces small;
They haven’t any chins at all.
Their ears are pink, their teeth are white,
They run about the house at night;
They nibble things they shouldn’t touch,
and, no one seems to like them much,
but, I think mice are rather nice.’
Mice, Rose Fyleman
Some people love to have mice as pets, while some don’t like them much. Whatever your view of them, they are rather quite a nice animal.
A mouse has many different traits that can help our spirit to lead a better life. Mice are nocturnal creatures, which means they sleep during the day and stay active at night. They are always on the move. Whenever I see mice, I see them running around.
So, a spirit animal mouse can also be an active guide. He can lead you to success with hard work. Besides, a mouse will also share his wisdom with you. Mice crawl on the mother earth and burrow the ground to live. So, they possess a great deal of the earth’s knowledge.
Mice are also very timid and gentle animals. They have a lot of predators, which is why they don’t like to attract much attention. At the same time, they remain alert to their surroundings. They take care of every detail to live safely.

Did you read Aesop’s fables? “The Lion and the Mouse” is one of Aesop’s most popular fables. Let me briefly explain the story to you.
The story starts when a mouse accidentally runs into a lion and wakes him up. Then the lion angrily threatens to kill him, and the mouse begs him, saying that he might help the lion later. The lion burst into laughter, telling how a tiny creature will help him, but spare the mouse anyway.
Later, one day a hunter netted the lion, and the lion started roaring for help. The mouse hears the lion’s roar and helps him escape by cutting the net with his sharp teeth. Here, the moral of the story is, no matter how small you are, you can always do things that the bigger can not.

The first one was a slender mouse, who used to live in the old man’s house. And the second one was a fat mouse who lived in a rich man’s home. The slender mouse loses as he doesn’t get much to eat.
Hearing the incident, the old man’s wife prepared some rice cakes for the mouse. And after eating the rice, the slender mouse defeated the fat mouse multiple times in Sumo. Then the fat mouse wanted to visit the old man’s house for the rice cake, but the slender mouse gave a condition that the fat mouse must bring a large sum of money.
Knowing about the visitor, again, the old man’s wife prepared rice cakes and also left loincloths for the mice. The next day they saw both the cakes and the loincloths had vanished. And they also found three gold coins which the fat mouse brought for them. Because of this story, people in Japan believe that mice are symbols of abundance.
