A mouse tale?

In the early 1930s a man named Eli was in the advertising bussiness. However this was not very profitable at the time. He became very pore, and his clothes were falling apart. His diet was also very limited, and his lunch consisted of cheese sandwiches.
A small mouse lived in his apartment office and Eli shared part of his sandwich with the mouse. However over time this became even too much for him to afford.
Needing to let the mouse go, he decided he could not let him just out the door since the resturaunt he lived over used mouse traps.
He carried the mouse out to the woods, let it go and wished it to live happily ever after.
Now we dont know the fate of the mouse, but Eli soon picked up a new line of work. He loved to draw, and he had drawn pictures of the mouse. He even put clothes on the mouse. For it was Elias Walt Disney who would name this mouse Mortimer Mouse. But his wife did not like this name and gave it a more famous name.
Mickey Mouse

I take it you are a fan of Paul Harveys "The rest of the story"

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

Wow that would have really screwed up the song... M O R... T I M.. ERM... OUSE! Mortimer Mouse... Mortimer Mouse..... no it really doesn't roll of the tongue now, does it? It just goes to show that behind every great man there is a woman telling him what an idiot he is.

That is interesting but where is your question?

This is Clomtancy

Sadely they dont hav e "History facts" as a selection for what to put it under. so sometimes trivia can be facts.

This is a very amusing story, however, I happen to be an expert on the life of Walter Elias Disney, and none of what you wrote has any truth in it, except for how Mickey got his name.
