Translated by J. Alison James.
After dreaming one night that she is incredibly strong, Lizzie the mouse boasts that she is the strongest creature in the forest. When Albert the bear challenges her to a wrestling match, Lizzie's confidence is shaken, but she wins with some help from her friends. Despite the contrived ending, Lizzie's predicament is entertaining, and the jaunty cartoon illustrations give the otherwise unremarkable story life.
