After eating the apple, Cheeseburger continued on his way. At the third city, he washed the last little golden seed in a bucket of water and threw it over his shoulder. Instantly a magic carpet appeared hovering over where the seed had landed.
"Oh my goodness," thought Cheeseburger.
He jumped on to the magic carpet thinking, "This should take me somewhere to find food for Egypt," and the magic carpet took him all the way to the next city.
As they flew, the magic carpet said, "Aren't I the best camel you ever met?"
"You are not a camel, you are a magic carpet," laughed Cheeseburger.
"Oh yes I am," said the magic carpet. "My name is Camellio, the Camel."
"I'd say you are Camellio the Carpet."
"OK, mouse, look I have humps drawn on me. Does that convince you?'
"Not necessarily. They are only drawn on."
When he got to the city he was amazed by the beautiful architecture, lovely arches and golden sculptures of important city officials made into the walls of the buildings, and silver temples. It was very busy and he could hear donkey hooves, carts full of meat pulled by camels, dogs barking, and the sounds of mousey voices squeaking about prices in the busy marketplace.
He used his money to buy apples, tomatoes, bread, corn, and beans. He flew home on his magic carpet and he gave food to all the families of Egypt, and some to the Pharaoh too.
The Pharaoh, Squeaky, was impressed and gave Cheeseburger armor of gold and let him have a castle and lots of land.
Cheeseburger married a Princess mouse, Stilltaenia with hair as black as a raven's wing and lived happily ever after with their 15 baby mice.

The Great Magic Mouse of Ancient Egypt. Chapter 2
The little, winged mouse disappeared.
"Hmm, I think I should do what she said," thought Cheeseburger.
He picked up the box and shook it. Yes there were three little rattling noises. He opened it and peeked inside. Just as the winged mouse said: three golden seeds.
He traveled for a long time over hot sandy deserts until he came to Lupita the first city. He looked and looked and finally he found the closest well. He dropped one of the little golden seeds in the well. Even though the well was dry, the bucket attached to the rope began to wind itself up. As he looked down he realized it was filled with water. "I thought that well was dry," he said to himself.
He drank the water for his throat was dry. Once he drank it, he felt so refreshed as if he had just woken up in the morning.
He continued on his way till he came to the second city. By this time he was very hungry for he had not eaten ever since he left home five hours ago. He did as the winged mouse told him and planted the second seed in the ground. Immediately, an apple tree seedling popped out of the ground and began to grow. It grew into a big apple tree. Cheeseburger was stunned and thought, "Could it be my imagination?" He reached for a juicy apple and ate it. Immediately he felt refreshed again.

The Great Magic Mouse of Ancient Egypt. Chapter 1
This is a stuffed animal folk tale that has been around since ancient Egyptian stuffed animals.
Once upon a time, the Pharoah, Squeeky the Third was ruling over Egypt. That year the Nile overflowed early, flooding many baby seedlings of the Egyptian mice.
A famous mouse named Cheeseburger, The Knight set out to find more food. On his way down the road he met a little mouse with wings fluttering in front of him.
The little, fluttering mouse gave him a box and she said, "Inside there are three gold seeds. When you get to the next city, go to the nearest well in the city and drop one of the little golden seeds into it. At the next city, you must plant the next golden seed. And at the third and final city before reaching Yotisma you must wash the last seed in a bucket of water before throwing it over your shoulder. Do as I say and good fortune will come to you."
